Beverly Block Party Is Back On This Summer

BEVERLY, MA —The party will return to the streets of Beverly for the first time in two years with the Beverly Main Streets Block Party scheduled for July 24.

This will be the eighth year of the outdoor community event on Cabot Street from Pond Street to Federal Street.

The coronavirus crisis forced the cancellation of last year's program, but with all state gathering restrictions removed and distancing guidelines relaxed, Beverly Main Streets is bringing back the festival of street food, music, beer and wine.

Because alcohol is served, families are advised that this event is geared toward adults. Everyone is welcomed to attend, but there will be no activities designed for children.

A portion of the road will be closed for the event.

Those attending are asked for a $5 donation at the admission gates and to bring your Massachusetts State ID if you plan to drink. All vendors are cash only.

Bags may be subject to inspection. No pets, bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, hoverboards or drones will be allowed.

Beverly Main Streets has also scheduled the return of the Arts Fest on Aug. 21.
