This year, the festival starts Thursday, August 31st, 2023 and concludes with the schooner race on Sunday, September 3rd, 2023. This capstone to the summer is steeped in history and jam-packed with events and opportunities to get up-close and personal with these beautiful ships. The GSF has become a Labor Day weekend tradition for thousands of people every year and we hope you will join in the festivities! Summer clearance going on all weekend.

Wednesday Jun 21, 2023 thru Sunday Jun 25, 2023

Each June, Gloucester celebrates the patron saint of fishermen, St. Peter. Music plays every evening, there’s a Sunday morning open-air mass and Sunday afternoon is the blessing of the fishing fleet. A small carnival creates a festive experience. Sporting events are held each day, including the Greasy Pole and Seine Boat Races. A long-standing Gloucester tradition not to be missed!



Celebrate the fish city’s recognizably salty character with local cultural institutions and businesses during the 2nd Annual Gloucester’s So Salty festival on January 21 and 22, 2023 from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm! Over 800 people came out last year to share their salty pride while enjoying free ice sculptures and cultural activities around Downtown Gloucester.

When: Saturday, Jan. 22, and Sunday, Jan. 23, from 1 to 4 p.m.
