Local kids will take to the stage to show off their skills at the 2026 Yankee Homecoming Kids Talent Show on Monday, July 27th 2026 from 11 am to 1 pm at the Newburyport waterfront stage located in Market Landing Park. Grab your blankets and lawn chairs and help show your support for kids in our community.
From music to dance to poetry to magic, kids of all ages, ranging from grades 1 all the way through 12, are invited to register and perform their talents, whatever they may be, for a live audience on the Newburyport Waterfront. The Yankee Homecoming Kids Talent Show is a non-competitive performance designed to showcase all of the wonderful kids and rising stars that live right here in Newburyport and surrounding towns.
It’s so important to host the kids talent show so that we can involve people of all ages in Yankee Homecoming. With kids getting involved at a young age, they are more likely to participate in future Yankee Homecoming celebrations and perhaps one day even volunteer for the event,” says Lorraine Mazza, the 2019 Kids Talent Show Chair.
To register, the performers must submit the registration form and be accompanied by an adult if they are under the age of 16. There is no fee to register. While day-of-event-performers talent may be allowed to join the show, it is dependent on space and not guaranteed.
Newburyport’s Yankee Homecoming celebration lasts an entire week, beginning Saturday, July 25th and ending with the annual parade on Sunday, August 2nd. To find even more ways to join in the celebrations, check out all of the events listed on our calendar.
