Don’t Miss Yankee Homecoming Fireworks & Parade!

by The Town Common

Tuesday July 30, 2024

fireworks cruise newburyport

NEWBURYPORT – Don’t miss out on the local event of the summer: parade, fireworks, music, events and waterfront walks along the Newburyport waterfront!

Yankee Homecoming’s last few days feature sidewalks sales (August 1 – 3), a U.S. Coast Guard Open House on August 1 from 10 am. – 2:00 pm., and the Newburyport Lions Yankee Homecoming Bed Race on August 1 from 6 – 7 pm.

A road rally will consume the area on August 3 from 8 am until 3 pm.

The area’s best FIREWORKS display takes place again this year on August 3 at 9:15 pm., and the annual parade which features groups from Newburyport and beyond will take place on Sunday August 4, kicking off at noon, with a big thanks to the Odd Fellows of Newburyport for sponsoring the Waltham American Legion Band!

From www.yankeehomecoming.com: “The parade is the last official event of Yankee Homecoming.  It begins at the intersection of Moseley Avenue and Ferry Road and follows historic High Street in Newburyport, ending State Street.  Fire engines from the area will lead off the parade followed by the YHC General Chairman, Volunteers of the Year, bands, floats, performances and more!  Once again we will be collecting money for the Jimmy Fund.  Our parade (originally known as the Jimmy Day Parade) was the first fundraiser for the Jimmy Fund.  Please help keep this tradition alive by donating during the parade.”
