BEVERLY HOMECOMING

A volunteer-run 501(c)3 nonprofit organization

Celebrating the Spirit of Beverly, MA

Beverly Homecoming is a summer celebration of the community spirit of Beverly, Massachusetts. It is organized by the Beverly Homecoming Committee, a volunteer-run nonprofit organization. After 59 years, the committee is dedicated to carrying on beloved annual events such as LobsterFest and the Beverly Homecoming Fireworks, as well as to encouraging new ideas and traditions.

As an independent nonprofit funded entirely by generous donations from Beverly residents and our community partners, our goal is to raise at least $95,000 each year. We are so grateful to all those who support Beverly Homecoming each year. Your collective generosity enables us to host these fun and family-friendly events.

The Homecoming Committee welcomes new members who want to get more involved in the local Beverly community. If you would like to volunteer, please contact medley@beverlyhomecoming.org or call Medley Long at 978-473-4948.

Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Visitors,

It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the 60th Anniversary of Beverly Homecoming!

For six decades, this cherished tradition has brought our community together—on the beaches, in the parks, downtown, and throughout our city—to celebrate all that makes Beverly such a special place to live, work, and play.

While we mark 60 years of Beverly Homecoming in its current form, the tradition of summer celebration in our city goes back even further—rooted in generations of hometown pride and shared community spirit.

Beverly Homecoming has long been my favorite time of the year in our city. We are truly lucky to live in our beautiful “Garden City” by the water. Whether you are from Beverly, born and raised, new to the city, or just visiting for the summer, I hope you’ll take time to celebrate all that we have to love here—our rich history, our vibrant downtown, our coastal beauty, and the people who make this place feel like home.

This milestone year is not just a celebration of the past, but a reflection of the community spirit that continues to drive us forward. From long-time residents to first-time visitors, Beverly Homecoming is about connection— neighbors reconnecting, new friendships forming, and generations sharing memories and traditions.

We’re also proud to continue the important tradition of honoring our veterans, whose service and sacrifice have helped make celebrations like this possible. They remain a valued part of our events and our community.

None of this would be possible without the tireless efforts of our volunteers, the generosity of our sponsors and local businesses, our dedicated Board of Directors, and the support of the City of Beverly. Your dedication keeps this tradition alive and thriving.

Thank you for being a part of this celebration. Here’s to 60 years of memories—and many more to come!

Signature
Medley Long III
