SUNSET CONCERT SERIES STARTS THIS SATURDAY!

We invite you to join us for the Village of Pelham Council on the Arts’ FREE Sunset Concert Series in Wolfs Lane Park, which kicks off this Saturday at 7 PM with Os Clavelitos!

Os Clavelitos is an American Samba band based in New York City. Their original music celebrates Brazil’s rich musical heritage, combining Brazilian rhythms (samba, baiao, bossa nova, and frevo) with English lyrics. They also perform traditional and popular Brazilian songs in Portuguese. They often incorporate batucada (percussion ensemble) into their shows and present an upbeat, high energy performance that gets people up and dancing!

Pack a picnic blanket or lawn chairs, bring your favorite people, and unwind with live music as the sun sets over the park. Whether you’re meeting neighbors, letting the kids play, or simply taking a break after a busy week, the Sunset Concert Series is the perfect way to enjoy a relaxing evening close to home.

Make it an easy night out by ordering takeout from one of Pelham’s wonderful local restaurants before the show and support the small businesses that help make our downtown so vibrant.

The Village of Pelham Council on the Arts is proud to present this free series as part of its mission to bring arts, culture, and neighbors together in our community. We hope to see you there!

🌟 Exciting day at the Village of Pelham Municipal Center! We hosted Pelham Together’s summer interns for their very first mentor meeting, complete with a working lunch and some great conversation about what makes a truly great boss — and a truly great employee.

The maturity, insight, and professionalism these young people brought to the table today was so impressive. They dove right into thoughtful discussions about leadership, workplace culture, and mutual respect — proof that Pelham’s next generation is ready to make an impact.

A huge thank you to Pelham Together for the incredible work they do connecting our young people with real-world opportunities and mentorship. And a big shoutout to all the local organizations and businesses stepping up to host these interns this summer — your investment in our youth is an investment in our community’s future! 💪

$236K Clean Energy Grant Delivers New Equipment to Village of Pelham
July 16, 2026

The Village of Pelham is pleased to announce the completion of all equipment purchases funded through a $236,087 Clean Energy Communities grant awarded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (“NYSERDA”).

The grant supported the acquisition of electric vehicles and equipment for the Village's Police Department and Department of Public Works, helping modernize the Village's municipal fleet while saving taxpayers money, advancing sustainability, reducing emissions, and improving operational efficiency.

Over the past year, the Village has taken delivery of:

• An electric riding mower;
• Two (2) electric parking enforcement vehicles; and
• Two (2) MAX-EV Refuse Hauler electric off-road utility vehicles.

The final pieces of equipment—the two MAX-EV Refuse Haulers—were delivered this week, marking the successful completion of the grant program.

These electric utility vehicles are purpose-built for demanding municipal operations and are equipped with a 64-inch pivot dump height, an 800-pound lift capacity, and a 1.75-cubic-yard poly bin with a full hydraulic pump system. This specialized configuration allows crews to efficiently dump refuse directly into the rear hopper of the Village's rear-loading garbage trucks.

The new refuse haulers are currently undergoing final preparation and are expected to be placed into service in the coming weeks.

The Village appreciates NYSERDA's partnership through the Clean Energy Communities program and its continued support of local investments in clean energy and sustainable municipal operations. We are enormously grateful to the local volunteers on the Sustainable Advisory Board, including past SAB Co-Chairs Yenna Chan and Heather Eliezer, for making this possible.

Photos of the Village's new electric equipment—including the MAX-EV Refuse Haulers, electric riding mower, and electric parking enforcement vehicles—are included below.

The Declaration wasn't a finish line. It was a starting point. 250 years later, we're still at it - which is probably the point. Happy 4th Pelham! 🎆🇺🇸❤️
