Bridgewater Fire Department Band

There has been a band in Bridgewater even before Bridgewater was incorporated as a town. The BFDB is descended from the original Bridgewater Brass Band, founded in 1868. Around 1900 it was reorganised as the Bridgewater Citizens' Band and in 1952 sponsorship of the band was taken over by the Bridgewater Fire Department.

The Band currently has about 30 members of all ages and professions: from high school students to retirees.

Experienced members are always willing to help newer members learn the ropes. We work hard and take pride in what we do, but we don't forget to have fun!

Most members of the Band own their own musical instruments, although the Band provides instruments as needed.

The Band plays a variety of music from Classical to Modern. The Band plays as many as 30 concerts and parades in a year, including our popular summer concert series on the Bandstand at Shipyards Landing (King Street South) in Bridgewater in July and August.
