In 2009, Brighton's Jazz Appreciation Club founded Bagelfest, an early-morning festival dedicated to the appreciation of jazz music while enjoying hundreds of bagels.
For the 2016-2017 season, Brighton High School put on Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street by Stephen Sondheim for the fall 2016 performance, and is currently in the process of rehearsing Les Misérables (musical) for the winter 2017 performance.
