NEWBURYPORT

Newburyport is a North Shore coastal city with a historic downtown and a performing arts center that anchors its cultural calendar.

Firehouse Center for the Arts is housed in a converted 1823 firehouse on the Newburyport waterfront, hosting concerts, theater, comedy, and film in a 195-seat space. The programming leans toward folk, acoustic, and singer-songwriter acts alongside theater productions.

The Firehouse's waterfront setting and intimate scale make shows here feel special. Newburyport's downtown is one of the most attractive in the state, and the cultural scene matches the setting.

Tip: The Firehouse is on Market Square, steps from the waterfront boardwalk. Downtown Newburyport is entirely walkable with abundant dining options.
