Parade

Olde Fashioned Sunday in Downtown Newburyport will be a great day to remember the beginnings of our Yankee Homecoming celebrations. Come enjoy some “new” events to help make future memories for the current younger generations as the past has given some of us the “good ole’ days” to remember.

Due to a fire on the fireworks barge, the 2024 fireworks display and harbor illumination in  Marbelehead Harbor has been canceled as a preecaution! bargeIndependence Day in Marblehead is a full-day affair along the picturesque harbor front. Start the day at 10 am with the Horribles Parade, a whimsical procession of unique and often creatively opinionated homemade floats, accompanied by lively music and other festive elements. As the day progresses, the waterfront and downtown come alive with music, food, and  family-friendly activities. The day culminates with the Harbor Illumination and Fireworks.

Rockport, Massachusetts, is known for its spirited Independence Day celebrations, and this Fourth of July will be no exception. The day is packed with exciting events, including the Firemen's Parade, a Legion Band concert, and Rockport's unique grand finale - a spectacular bonfire at Back Beach.

Beverly Farms has a lot going on for the 4th of July including cookouts, softball games, live music, a parade and, of course, fireworks! Come celebrate Independence Day filled with history and community tradition!
