Rockport New Year’s Eve will take place in 2021! Some 35 performers will appear at 14 venues to celebrate RNYE’s 25th anniversary. Buttons are available online now (click here) and will be in stores soon. Because of COVID-19, attendees over 2 years of age will be required to wear face coverings at all indoor venues. The Shalin Liu Performance Center will also require proof of vaccination or a negative test. All performers will be vaccinated or have had a recent negative test.

Rockport New Year’s Eve (RNYE) is a family-friendly year-end celebration of the arts held in downtown Rockport, Massachusetts annually since 1997. Halls, churches, town offices, and some streets are taken over by happy revelers celebrating the New Year.

Throughout the year, RNYE keeps friends informed of ongoing activities and events via an email list. Emails are occasional and include news and informative articles about performers and events. Please sign up below if you are interested.

A primary goal of RNYE is to keep this event affordable for everyone. Purchase of a button provides entrance into all of the events on New Year’s Eve. But the revenue generated from button sales does not cover the cost of this event and RNYE relies heavily on sponsors and donations. Please donate below if you are inspired to help. RNYE appreciates your generosity and community spirit!

RNYE also sincerely thanks its many volunteers, without whom this event could not go on!
