Your Port Derby ’26 Ticket Changes Lives!

Don’t miss this spectacular evening featuring a live simulcast of the "Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports," a full Southern-style dinner, Mint Juleps, a silent auction, a wine pull, a "Best Hat" contest, and so much more!

What makes this night truly special? Every ticket you buy directly invests in Newburyport's youth and families.

Proceeds from Port Derby '26 fund program scholarships that open doors to recreation, arts, sports, and camps for kids who need it most; social service supports that provide vital resources to local families in need; and holiday meals that bring warmth and celebration to our neighbors during the holiday season.

Make sure to dress the part — think big hats, bold fascinators, and colorful seersucker — and be part of something bigger than a great party.

The Port Youth & Rec Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. A portion of your ticket purchase is tax-deductible

This is a 21+ event.
