Rockport New Year’s Eve 2024

For almost thirty years, New Year’s Eve has brought a huge celebration of the arts to downtown Rockport. This year sees the same, with dozens of artists and performers heading to Rockport on December 31 for an evening of bustling family-friendly fun throughout the whole town. Buttons, for sale online and at various businesses around Cape Ann, give you entry to all of the night’s events like music and theater performances. But some events remain free and open to all, like psychic readers, a lineup of food trucks, stargazing with the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club, and the midnight ball drop in Dock Square.
