Festival Events

Jay Havighurst interactive sound sculptures at Stage Fort Park with a performance at 7-7:30 PM.7-9 PM
‘The Ways You Flock’ – a 2 hour “singularity” for music duo Clairaudient and the public.‘The ways you flock’ is inspired by flocking behavior as observed in birds – spontaneous individual actions that create complex large-scale forms. The piece is a transient re-making of Stage Fort Park into an imaginary version itself in which the public is directly involved… by flocking there. The New Arts Festival and Clairaudient invite any and all to come and take part in this piece by bringing safe light sources to illuminate their movements in the dark, and to create flocking patterns while the music plays. Don’t worry, simple instructions will be provided. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light. Public can also just listen to the music and watch the spectacle unfold.
In the event of rain, saturday night’s event will become an indoor Clairaudient gig. Stay tuned for details.

Gift To Gloucester
This gold-framed gift from the King of Thailand Birthplace Foundation to Gloucester on Aug. 30 at a city hall celebration of Gloucester’s designation on the "Trail of Thai Royalty in Massachusetts" shows Prince
Mahidol coming to Gloucester in 1916 on his way to studying public health at Harvard. He spent a lot of time at 3 Page St, which now has a commemorative historic bronze plaque. The Prince was father of the
current King of Thailand — the longest reigning and most beloved monarch in the world, and who was born in Cambridge, MA in 1927 — the first monarch ever born in the USA.

The Great Gloucester Burger Wars- Cathy Tarr From The Manor Weighs In
I’m on a mission to discover the best burgers in town. We’ve brought you Passports yesterday. Today we have The Manor on Essex Ave. If you would like to send in your picture of a local burger, try to include the receipt. Leave a comment here and we will get it posted.
Today this comes from Cathy Tarr-
Here you go! I may be a little biased, but The Manor does a darn good burger – cheese (choice of 3), bacon, lettuce, tomato and cooked just right – medium rare. The bun is just right – not overwhelming, but sturdy enough to support the juicy burger. The price is for the plate, including the seasoned fries.
Here’s a Burger From The Manor, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
