A tradition 62 summers strong
Beverly’s tradition of summertime community gatherings goes back to 1902 and the first Old Home Week. In 1965, inspired by Newburyport’s Yankee Homecoming, local volunteers formed Beverly Homecoming, and the first celebration followed in 1966. In 2026 the city marked 400 years since its settlement with a 15-day Homecoming. In 2027 the tradition carries on with LobsterFest, waterfront fireworks, and family-friendly fun all week long.
