Inn Street South Pedestrian Mall

A Historic New England Promenade

Inn Street is one of Newburyport's most beloved public spaces, an open brick pedestrian mall threading between the brick commercial blocks of the city's restored downtown. The car-free design lets visitors stroll freely past storefronts that recall the port city's nineteenth-century maritime prosperity.

Shopping & Dining Along the Mall

The walkway is a quintessential coastal shopping and dining destination, lined with locally owned boutiques, galleries, cafes and restaurants. Park benches and planters invite a relaxed pause, while the dog-friendly streetscape draws visitors from across the North Shore and the southern New Hampshire Seacoast.

Festivals, Performers & the Playground

Throughout the year the mall hosts festivals, markets and street performers, and its popular children's playground keeps the space lively with families. The camera, hosted from Market Square, captures this ongoing rhythm of community life on the brick promenade.

Visiting Downtown Newburyport

A short walk from the tidal Merrimack River waterfront, Inn Street anchors a compact, walkable district of historic architecture and independent shops that has earned Newburyport a reputation among regional and international travelers alike.
