Beverly Summer Block Party Coming Back For 2023

BEVERLY, MA — Downtown Beverly is shutting down the streets and living it up once again this July with the return of the Summer Block Party.

This will be the 10th edition of the Beverly Main Streets party scheduled for Cabot Street from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. on July 29.

This year's event will include local bands Jittery Jack, the Squeezebox Stompers, Candlepin Slim and HD R&B as well as DJ sets from Jazzy Jas, Soundtracks and DJ Zach Schoettle.

Downtown restaurants will be open for dinner along with food trucks from Beverly and beyond. There will also be a giant beer pong, corn hole, and a beer, wine and sangria area for those 21+ with a valid driver's license or Massachusetts ID.

Beverly Main Streets will sponsor a 50/50 raffle and portrait board from local artist Ashlee Beadle.

There is a $5 suggested donation for entry to the event.

Dogs are not allowed at this event. Children are welcome, however, the focus of the event is primarily adult-based party activities.

Downtown traffic restrictions will be in place that night with Cabot Street closed from the intersection of Federal Street and the intersection of Pond Street from 3:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Detours will be in place.

Parking options will also be limited so those attending the event are asked to walk, bike or use public transportation, if possible.
