of June, showing off ornamental, productive
and sustainable public and private gardens
(www.keyportgardenwalk.org). Summer street
festivals include Dog’s Night Out in June and
the very popular Keyport Car Show in July.
In September, the KeyportFest 5K run begins
downtown and finishes on the waterfront. Come
out in October for Keyport’s most exciting new
event, the Keyport Music Festival, featuring an
all-day and night festival of over a dozen blues,
jazz, and bluegrass acts, a chowder contest
among Keyport restaurants, and a not-to-bemissed
fireworks celebration.
Nonprofit groups such as Keyport Garden
Club, Keyport Historical Society and Arts
Society of Keyport provide beautiful backdrops
for enjoying the outdoors or learning about
the town’s rich history. Fundraisers such
the Candlelight House Tour in December,
showcasing the town’s beautifully decorated
Victorian homes, support the Keyport Historical
Society’s work in preserving local history.
