For 26 years Rockport New Year’s Eve, Inc. has hosted a “small town, BIG celebration” consistently described as “Simply Amazing” by thousands of attendees who enjoy great music, fabulous performers, and rich variety at multiple venues within easy walking distance of each other in Downtown Rockport. We look forward to doing it again on December 31, 2023.

Big events like this require many people who love to work side by side to create joy, fun, and an amazing experience for family, friends, the greater Cape Ann Community and beyond. It all starts in the spring and continues right up to Dec. 31. The work is both rewarding and fun.

Our small RNYE team of dedicated volunteers knows how to create miracles, but we need your fresh input, new ideas, and energy so this coming First Night will be the best ever. Not sure where you would fit in? No worries. Interest and willingness to make a difference are all it takes – and the time commitment is up to you. Specifically, we look forward to your assistance with any of the following:

• * Planning entertainment for all ages
  * Fundraising, sponsorships, grant writing
  * Event logistics
  * Venue and volunteer coordination
  * Graphic design
  * Website support
  * Publicity, social media, photography, videography

Interested? Want to learn more? Please join us for an informal session on Wednesday, April 26 at 7:00 PM in the Morgan Room at the First Congregational Church (12 School St., Rockport). Kindly RSVP by clicking the button below. We will be happy to answer any questions.

“We had a great group of volunteers that came out and worked hard and fast today to collect over 15 bags of trash in a relatively short period of time at the State Fish Pier and at the head of the harbor. For people who want to do their own part and can’t be part of a group cleanup, you can pick up yellow bags at the DPW, collect trash, and report the location of the full bags using the app SeeClickFix.” – Jamie Mathison- One Ocean Shop
