Welcome to the annual celebration of Yankee Homecoming! Head to Newburyport for the annual celebration of Yankee Homecoming. This week-long celebration features a parade, fireworks, live music, and vendors. Events include a cornhole tournament, a road rally, and an exhibition of artwork from all over New England.
Yankee Homecoming was the creation of artist Jack Frost, who in 1957 proposed a celebration
that would invite the Yankees that had emigrated west in the 1800’s to return home for a
“national Family Reunion.”

Highlights include event favorites like Battle of the Bands, Craft Show, Waiter/Waitress Race, Cornhole Tournament, Fireworks, Parade, Olde Fashioned Sunday, Waterfront Concerts and lots more!
Newburyport was one of 29 cities to celebrate the inaugural festival in 1958, which was promoted as a “national pilgrimage back east where it all began.” The festival attracted new and old fans of the city alike, promoting our rich history and invoking pride in the residents of the time.
We are extremely proud to enter our 63rd year as the only surviving Yankee Homecoming
festival.
As you enjoy the many free events to be offered, please take a moment to reflect on
and appreciate the history of our hometown festival, which will be commemorated with fun
facts and anecdotes from events that paved the way for past Yankee Homecomings.
