Celebrating 400+ years of Beverly!

Beverly, Massachusetts settled in 1626. Now, 400 years later, our city of more than 40,000 people is excited to honor our rich history and create new memories and stories through events and celebrations throughout 2026!

Beverly 400+ is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization created to commemorate 400+ years of Beverly’s history. Join us as we preserve our heritage, uplift local voices, and inspire future generations. Whether you’re passionate about history, arts, education, or community, there’s something for everyone with Beverly 400+. We’re building something lasting, inclusive, and uniquely Beverly. Help us turn this milestone into momentum—support Beverly 400+ today.

We will kick off the celebration with our big cake at the annual Beverly Holiday Parade on November 30, 2025. Find our calendar of events here; sign up for our newsletter here; and follow us on social to stay informed and join in the celebration!
