Celebration

Join the Newburyport YWCA for a celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s life. The celebration is planned and organized by the YWCA’s teen-led Racial Justice committee. Each year student leaders create innovative and engaging programs about the impact of racism that provoke thought and encourage action. Attendees of our events form a diverse group of ages, races, faiths, political parties, business communities, organizations and schools. The interaction between area high school students and adults is a hallmark of our annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Event.

Come to Marini Farm for the Tree Jubilee fundraiser to benefit The Ipswich Humane Group.  Tour the gallery of beautifully decorated trees and wreaths donated by local organizations, families, and businesses then choose the ones you want a chance to win! More than 50 spectacularly decorated trees and wreaths will be raffled off (decorations and all!) at the end of the Jubilee. You never know what our participants will decorate their trees with!
