More Rain On Way Washes Away Beverly Earth Fest For 2023

BEVERLY, MA — Another rainy weekend forecast has washed away Beverly Earth Fest for 2023.

The Lynch Park festival, which had already been postponed from last Sunday because of rain, fell victim to yet another wet weekend forecast on the North Shore.

The festival of food, music and interactive nature activities for adults and children had been planned for noon until 3 p.m. It will not be rescheduled this year.

"This only encourages us to celebrate Earth Day, every day," the city said in announcing the cancellation on Friday. "Sign up for updates from the Sustainability Office for ways to and fight climate change year-round."

According to NBC10 Meteorologist Pamela Gardner, up to two inches of rain could fall between Saturday afternoon and Monday. She said this will be the seventh time in the last nine weekends that at least one day included measurable rain.
