End The Beverly Summer In Style With Downtown Party

BEVERLY, MA — The return of the summer block party on Cabot Street was such an anticipated success in 2024 that Beverly Main Streets decided to bring the party to Rantoul Street to close out the season.

Beverly Main Streets is hosting is inaugural End of Summer Party on Sept. 21 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. with an array of music, vendors, food, local craft beer and entertainment at Odell Veterans Memorial Park.

Local breweries Backbeat, Coastal Mass, Gentile and Old Planters will be serving, alongside cocktails at the Block Patio by the Castle. Food vendors are set to include La Q’Chara, Pop's Famous Guac, Pure Pastry, Three Gingers Jerky, RastaRant, La Pheegan, Veeg My Eats, and Sala Restobar, and fresh produce will be available from the Mobile Market.

Community activities will include art workshops, 15-minute massages, face painting, tarot readings, lawn games, and Beverly merch for sale.

Squeezebox Stompers and Whiskey Talk will be taking the stage, and Cate the Great will be performing acrobatics for your entertainment.

The End of Summer Party is organized in partnership with Green Beverly and the Waste Reduction Committee, who will be helping Beverly Main Streets make this a (nearly) zero-waste event.

Guests are encouraged to walk, bike, or take the train to the End of Summer Party.
