New Year’s Eve in Rockport

Joey,

The New Year’s Eve planning committee in Rockport would greatly appreciate any way you can help publicize our forthcoming New Year’s Eve festival around the Cape Ann communities!   Attached is a release describing Rockport’s New Year’s Eve 2024.    Also attached is the pre-event program guide, which is tri-fold in print.

We are also offering several paid opportunities to manage performance venues.  The openings are described at https://rockportnye.org/help-us-2024

Happy to answer any questions and welcome suggestions,
