Beverly Porchfest 2026
Saturday, May 30th | 12-8pm
Beverly 400+ Presents:
Porchfest!
Porchfest is back – and for Beverly’s 400th birthday, we’re going ALL IN.
Spend the afternoon in Ryal Side, where music will be spilling off of porches and into the streets. Then, follow the music downtown for an early evening of buskers and pop-up performances. We’ll close out the day together at historic Hale Farm right downtown, with a headliner performance on Beverly’s “first porch”. Bring the kids, bring the dogs, bring your lawn chairs – its PorchFest time!
