DEFINE THE IDEA
Festival at a Glance
The festival takes place each September on the historic waterfront park in downtown Newburyport, typically running from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The site is anchored by the central pavilion, where most performances and information booths are located. Parking is limited, so consider public transit or rideshare options.
Three main components shape the experience: a Vendor Marketplace filled with local crafts and foods; a Live Performance Schedule that spreads music, theater, and dance across multiple stages; and Community Workshops that invite hands‑on participation in history, art, and science. Kids can enjoy a dedicated play area near the market, and pet‑friendly zones are marked on the map.
