Ready for Summer? We are!

The cooler, wet Spring kept Acadia, Maggie and I closer to home enjoying shorter walks along the Rail Trail. Now, early signs of summer are everywhere with the scent of Lilacs, the aromas of barbecue and kids zipping by on bikes. On this day the three of us paused at our favorite sit down spot, said hello to lots of new friends and enjoyed a very colorful sunset. Sometimes, the simple strolls are the ones that fill your heart the most.

Newburyport’s beloved tradition returns July 27–August 4, blending seaside charm with small-town spirit. From waterfront concerts and vibrant craft fairs to the can't be missed waitress/waiter races and fireworks, there’s something for everyone.
