It always thrills me this time of year as we officially kick off the summer season. I know that it’s not “officially” summer until June 21stbut with this weekend being Memorial Day it is summer for us Chamber folks. The greater Newburyport area has so much to offer and this year is no exception!
This weekend, Sunday and Monday, we step out in style with our annual Newburyport Spring Fest. The two day, must attend festival is a destination for those from in and around greater Newburyport. You and your family, friends and neighbors can enjoy live music, over 65 juried fine arts and crafts vendor, fabulous food, kids korner entertainment and the fun and fabulous teddy bear parade! The festival takes place from 10 – 5 in beautiful downtown Newburyport on the historic bull nose. While you are with us enjoy shopping, dining and browsing at one of our many fine restaurants, shops and attractions!
There is so much to do. We hope to see you! For more information go to: http://www.newburyportchamber.org/Springfest.shtml

We offer a weekly Member2Member email program in which chamber members can directly communicate via email with other chamber members. These very popular Member2Member emails can be shared with anyone. Often times the information is a banking service offer, a new restaurant menu or announcement of a special event. So here is a sample of this week’s offerings.
