Fairs and Festivals
Fairs & Festivals celebrate music, food, and the seasons in North of Boston
Year round fairs and festivals bring the Cape Ann, just north of Boston, and Merrimack’s Valley’s legendary history and characters to life. Enjoy celebrations and great things to do from Patriots’ Day in mid-April when that shot was heard round the world, to folk fests and events celebrating favorite sons and daughters like writer Jack Kerouac. Ethnic events highlight the peoples and cultures of the Merrimack Valley while fall and winter fests illuminate the harvest and the holidays. Year-round music, art, and food festivals are great fun for families and kids.
