Barnstable Town Government

What the Town Council and the town’s boards are meeting on this month. Show up. Speak up. Every meeting below is open to the public.

Barnstable does not have a town meeting. It has a Town Council: thirteen councilors, one elected from each precinct, who pass the budget and the town’s laws. So the place a resident is heard is the Council chamber, and the boards that send business to it.

Town Council
Thursdays at 6:00 pm, Town Hall, 367 Main Street, Hyannis.
Remaining 2026 dates: October 15, November 5 and 19, December 3 and 17.
Watch From Home
Xfinity Channel 8, 1070 or 1072 (HD).
Three Seats Are Empty
Precincts 1, 5 and 13 have no councilor.
Special elections: October 13 (Precincts 1 and 13) and December 22 (Precinct 5).
