SUMMARY:Newburyport's Yankee Homecoming Week-long Festival

This week-long festival\, which has been held annually ever since\, strengthens the bonds of our community. Newburyport’s Yankee Homecoming is the longest continuously running festival that remains. \nThis year’s theme\, Tides of Time: Preserving the Past\, Charting the Future\, was inspired by the origins of Yankee Homecoming\, which began 66 years ago\, and the rich heritage of Newburyport that we celebrate each year. It also reflects the ongoing spirit of growth and change that this community has embraced. Events include a brewfest\, olde fashioned sunday\, waterfront concerts\, family day\, waterfront workouts\, heritage tours\, craft and art shows\, U.S. Coast Guard open house\, a parade and fireworks. For detailed event information\, click here. \n

SUMMARY:Step Aboard History: FREE Deck Tours of the Schooner Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Climb aboard the Schooner Adventure and step back in time! Our guided deck tours offer a unique opportunity to explore one of Gloucester’s most treasured maritime landmarks.

Knowledgeable and passionate docents—many of whom have sailed Adventure themselves—will bring her stories to life\, from the golden age of sail to her current role as an ambassador for maritime history and education. \nWhether you’re a maritime buff\, a curious traveler\, or a family looking for a fun and educational outing\, a deck tour of the Schooner Adventure is a hands-on experience you won’t forget. Come feel the salt air\, ring the ship’s bell\, take a picture at the helm\, and discover how this proud vessel continues to inspire new generations. \nTours start at the end of the Harriet Webster Pier.
