The day kicks off at noon with the Classic Car show on Washington Street in the heart of the Riverfront Cultural District. Classic cars, muscle cars, hot rods and specialty cars line up on Washington Street for three hours of viewing and chatting with their proud owners. Frank “I’m just alone for the ride” Novak from HC Media will present a commentary on each vehicle.
Next up on the Riverfront Stage is the pre-show “warm-up” with Zumba from the Haverhill YMCA at 12:15 p.m. With high energy music and professional instructors, Zumba is fun for the whole family. No experience necessary!
The Riverfront Stage is then transformed into a music venue, with a great lineup of live music programmed by The River 92.5 – featuring Gretchen & The Pickpockets, Seth Wonkka, Brian Byrd, Amy & The Engine, Ruby Rose Fox, and The Alternate Routes. Visit www.riverruckus.com for set times.
Children’s activities include a bouncy house, arts and crafts, face painting, games and more.

Our Harpoon Beer Garden will feature a tasty display of beers, including two new ones – Alloy Ale and Harpoon Sweet Spot. Beer Garden patrons can get a great view of the music while enjoying a libation.
