KidsFEST has been a beloved part of Haverhill’s story for decades. What began in the 1990s as a lively downtown celebration organized by the Downtown Haverhill Committee grew into a beloved community tradition, later stewarded by the Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce in the 2010s. For many families, it was the highlight of the year!

Today, the Haverhill Education Foundation is proud to carry that tradition forward. KidsFEST is back, reimagined and revitalized, with a renewed focus on celebrating our amazing kids and teens!

This free, family-friendly event will take place at Haverhill High School, making it accessible and welcoming for the entire community.

Rooted in HEF’s mission, KidsFEST highlights hands-on learning experiences that spark curiosity and imagination. From interactive art and STEM activities to performances from youth athletes and musicians, the festival celebrates the unique talents, interests, and potential of Haverhill’s young people. It is more than just a fun day out. It is a reflection of what makes our students, schools, and community so special.

Join us as we honor the past, celebrate the present, and build an even brighter future for Haverhill kids this May!
