A Cape Ann Holiday Tradition Returns! Happy news from Heidi Dallin!

“The Cape Ann YMCA presents Holiday Delights on stage in Gloucester, the beloved holiday production. Registration is now open for young people age 5 to 18 to perform in Holiday Delights.

Set in Gloucester, Holiday Delights is a festive evening of stories, music and dance recounting the special traditions that other cultures and families experience as seen through a young child’s magical journey on Christmas Eve to discover what is really important during the holiday season.

Young people can learn the basics of professional theatre as well as be a part of a Cape Ann Holiday tradition.

“There are terrific roles for young actors of all ages! All actors that register will be cast in the production and we welcome all levels of experience,” says YMCA of the North Shore Theatre Coordinator and Holiday Delights Director Heidi Dallin.

Rehearsals begin in October at the Cape Ann YMCA and the schedule is flexible. Performances are December 11 at 7pm; December 12 at 2pm and December 13 at 2pm at Annisquam Village Hall. To join the cast, go to www.northshoreymca.org and search for Cape Ann YMCA Theater Programs. For further information and questions, contact Heidi Dallin at dallinh@northshoreymca.org or 978-729-1094.”

400 Trees will Lead Another Free Guided “Tree Walk & Talk”

Through Downtown Gloucester Oct. 24

Jack Montgomery

Based on positive feedback and the success of the first tour, another free guided Tree Walk & Talk will be offered for residents and visitors to explore Gloucester’s urban forest at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, beginning at the Sawyer Free Library.

Led by International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist and 400 Trees Tree Director, Jack Montgomery, the tour will explore tree planting locations throughout the downtown area while offering practical lessons in tree care, proper pruning, and the important role trees play in creating healthy, vibrant communities. He will be joined by local tree and plant expert, Chris Wood.

Similar to the first event, the particular focus of the walk will be structural pruning, a proactive approach to developing strong, healthy trees with a form that is well suited to the challenges of an urban environment. Montgomery will demonstrate how thoughtful pruning can improve a tree’s health, longevity and appearance while helping participants understand the unique demands placed on city trees.

Montgomery has over 20 years of experience in the arboriculture industry. As an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist and a Certified Tree Care Safety Professional, he brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every project.

“Urban trees have to coexist with the cityscape around them as well as the people,” Montgomery said. “With the right attention early on, we can help these trees thrive in this environment for years. With the right care, we can make the trees become stronger, healthier, and better suited to grow in these conditions.”

The walk will also explore how we can care for and expand its growing urban forest while recognizing the many benefits trees provide to the community — from shade and beauty, to healthier neighborhoods, and a more vibrant downtown.

The program is part of the ongoing Tree Talks lecture and educational series produced by 400 Trees, a Gloucester-based nonprofit dedicated to engaging youth and planting trees, in collaboration with the Sawyer Free Library. Tree Talks bring local and regional experts together to share knowledge about native trees, plants and Gloucester’s unique ecosystem through educational programs and community events. 400 Trees works to cultivate a healthier, greener, and more connected Cape Ann for generations to come.

Registration is required at luma.com/gw2l5jqb.

Egrets….There Are a Few….

Posted on by Pat D

A few egrets were still hanging around on a recent fall afternoon at the Jones Marsh landing. I went searching for some classic fall shots and got egrets instead. I think these are Snowy Egrets and Great Egrets. There was quite a bit of bird activity down there, including a classic fishing scene to round the trip out. Additional photos and story details can be found at Pat D’s Photos and Adventures on Facebook. Check them out and give a follow if you like!

CAPA 2026 — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

Over the last week, Greater Cape Ann hosted the 10th Cape Ann Plein Air event. Thirty-six “juried” artists from twenty states competed for awards. I always attend the final Quick Draw, when 100 local artists join the “juried” regulars for separate judging. Everone had 2-hours to complete their artwork, this year in Manchester-by the-Sea.

Dipali (Di), staying with us, wanted to paint a lobster still life, so I visited Joey (GMG) for live stage props.
With the lobsters boiled and in place, Dipali laid out her painting.
The finished composition. Anne-Lise and I enjoyed the lobsters for dinner.
The total of 136 artists fanned out around downtown Manchester for the Quick Draw on the final Saturday.
Some chosen locations were more precarious than others.
There were plenty of photo-opportunities as well.
I liked the ‘Life Vest Loaner’ station in Masconomo Park.
And so did Jack, along with a young admirer, at the guest artists judging.
Gloucester’s acclaimed Jeff Weaver was the overall Awards Judge for CAPA 2026.
Vanesa took home 1st place for the Quick Draw guest artists.
And Charlie was the winner among the weeklong juried participants.
The judging, Gala, and art sale for the 36 artists took place at the North Shore Arts Association.

What a great Magtoberfest 2026

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Sunday, October 11, 2026, Magtoberfest 6th annual event, was a total success.  The Magnolia Library volunteers did an extraordinary job planning this 2026  Magtoberfest.  The classic cars are always fun.  The Cape Ann Makers Market had wonderful vendors with lots of great gifts and apparel.  Thank you to the Cape Ann Makers Market for all their hard work.  Everyone who puts this event on, spends many hours in creating a family fun event.  The food trucks and restaurants on Lexington Avenue provided wonderful food.  The music of THE ROUNAROUND and FUNBUCKET, had us all dancing on Lexington Avenue. Thank you to all the people who came to this fun event to support all the local vendors and businesses.

Your Saturday night doesn’t have to die quietly.
