Cruisin' the 50's

Downtown Newburyport will host classic cars and classic 60's music at the 4th Annual "Cruisin' the 50's" festival on Thursday, August 17 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. This free community event, sponsored by "The Legends" WNBP Radio, and the Greater Newburyport Chamber of Commerce, draws huge, enthusiastic crowds each year to this historic seaport. State, Pleasant and Inn Streets will be closed for pedestrians only, and more classic cars at the Harris Street Parking Lot and the Patrick Tracy Square. Visitors can get up close to view 200 specially selected classic cars from across New England. The rain date is Aug. 24, 2017.
