Beverly Homecoming Back For 57th Year In August

BEVERLY, MA — The lobsters, ice cream, concerts, fireworks and the rest of the fun of Beverly Homecoming is back for 2022.

Beverly Homecoming returns for a 57th year starting with the Annual Lobster Festival on Aug. 3 and concluding with the Homecoming Fireworks on Aug. 7.

The Homecoming will also include the Yankee 5K Road Race, Senior Day in the Park, the BevRec Carnival, ice cream social, Tiny Tots Day, concerts, movie night, pickleball tournament, cardboard boat races and more.

"Homecoming is my favorite time of year," Beverly Homecoming President Medley Long said. "Whether you are enjoying a fresh lobster at LobsterFest, connecting with neighbors at an Ellis Square veterans and friends cookout, dancing to live music at a concert, or taking in the
colorful fireworks at Homecoming's finale, there is so much to do and see in Beverly.

"Especially after the challenges of the last few years, we are so excited to come together as a community in this way once again."

The volunteer-run festival is run using resident donations and sponsorship from more than 50 business and nonprofit organizations, including major donors CM&B, Garden City Pediatric Associates, North Shore Bank and the Salem Five Bank Charitable Foundation.

The volunteer nonprofit Beverly Homecoming Committee and the Beverly Department of Parks and Recreation run the summer celebration. Residents with questions are encouraged to email beverlyhomecoming@gmail.com.
