Amesbury WINTERFEST - 5 Days of Winter Time Fun!

February 1, 2025

We've partnered with many of our members to bring you 5 days of Winterfest events. Don't let the colder weather keep you cooped up inside, join us for some winter fun for everyone!

During Winterfest enjoy a downtown StoryWalk(tm) created by the Amesbury Public Library that will start at the Library and be in the windows of local businesses within walking distance. Read as you stroll downtown and enjoy the winter poems and facts in Winter Bees and other Poems of the Cold. Enjoyable for all ages!


Join Clare Dombrowski, from the Amesbury Public Library, for a lively and engaging story hour at the Industrial History Center! Each session features delightful stories, songs, dance, and a simple craft inspired by themes of industry, transportation, and Amesbury’s rich history. This free program is perfect for children ages 3 to 6, with younger siblings welcome to join the fun! Little ones will explore Amesbury’s fascinating past through stories, music, movement, and hands-on creativity. Get ready to sing, dance, and create while learning about the history that shaped our community. We can’t wait to see you there!
