This year’s Spring Fest will be held behind the Firehouse on Waterfront Park. Watch on stage performances by local artists and performers, shop the waterfront artisan fair and don’t forget to pre-order a picnic meal from one of the many local restaurants!
Newburyport, already a destination for exceptional restaurants, waterfront views and unique local stores, is a must visit for Spring Fest with the addition of local arts and crafts vendors along the waterfront as well as live entertainment geared toward all ages.

Grab a tasty snack on-the-go or relax at one of the many outdoor cafes like Sea Level, Brine, Paddle Inn and Oregano, to take in the bustle as you dine. Work off all that delicious food strolling the waterfront boardwalk, let the kids blow off some steam at the Inn Street playground, and then treat yourself to some gelato!
From clothing to one of a kind art work to home decor, if you’re looking for a special gift or simply something for yourself, Newburyport’s downtown shops, as well as the local vendors at this Spring festival, are bound to have what you’re looking for.
