Yankee Homecoming 2007
July 31, 2007
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Newburyport’s Yankee Homecoming annual nine day celebration. The homecoming begins on the last Saturday of July and ends on the first Sunday of August. This year it runs from July 28th to August 5th.
Newburyport’s “Yankee Homecoming” is the 2nd oldest homecoming festival in the United States. It features over 200 events over the span of nine days and offers everything from nightly free concerts, street fairs, road races, and fireworks.
The first Sunday of the festival, known as “Olde Fashioned Sunday,” is celebrated at the Bartlet Mall in Newburyport, and features many activities, including an art show, an antique car show, a fireman’s muster, and the participation of many local businesses.
There are concerts every night at Market Landing Park along with the “Annual Boat Parade.” Other popular events include the Newburyport Lions’ 10-mile and 5-kilometer road races, which run through the city’s downtown streets and neighborhoods.
There is also a fireworks show and the famous Yankee Homecoming parade on the last Sunday of the festival.
