Celebrating the spirit of Beverly
Welcome to Beverly Homecoming, celebrating the spirit, pride, and community of our beautiful coastal city. Every summer since 1966, friends, families, and neighbors have come together for fun, food, music, and memories, from waterfront fireworks to family-friendly events all around town.
Planning for the 62nd Beverly Homecoming is underway. Your support now helps the committee book fireworks, LobsterFest, and events for summer 2027.
Support the tradition
1902 – 2027
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.
