City Hosts Successful ‘Welcome to Revere’ Tour
This past weekend, the City of Revere Community Liaisons launched their first “Welcome to Revere” tour. Styled in the fashion of the Boston Duck Tours, and running quarterly, the two-hour tour aimed to welcome new residents to the city features local landmarks, public buildings, parks, family-friendly spots, and restaurants. Each tour also includes free samples of local food from Revere’s business districts, including Easy Pie, Perros Paisas, Chocolaffee, and Tulum Taqueria. In its first run on Saturday, November 1, the tour sold out two separate timeslots, educating 24 new residents on all things Revere.
The initiative was sparked by Mayor Patrick M. Keefe Jr., with the intention of educating new residents on the benefits of living in Revere, from “navigating city resources,” to “finding the best place to grab dinner,” and beyond.
“With our proximity to the airport, our natural geography, and our strong public school system, we’ve seen homebuyers and renters flock to Revere in recent times,” commented Mayor Patrick M. Keefe Jr., “We want to show them what a welcoming community looks like, and we want to show them everything we have to offer.”
Nada Abou-Fouda, Community Liaison and Tour Guide, added, “Revere is an amazing place to live, and we want to show all our newest residents why we love it so much.”
Registration for the next installation of the tour, which takes place on Saturday, February 7, 2026 at both 11:00am and 2:30pm, is open online.
New residents are also encouraged to contact Community Liaison Madelyn Pineda-Alvarez for more information, at [email protected].
