What about Gloucester sets it apart from anywhere else?

It’s real, not a caricature of itself. The people who live here are passionate about making the best of the natural gifts we have, and even if they don’t always agree 100%, they find a way to work together to make things happen. There is always something going on, music, festivals, art, lectures, et cetera, because folks step up and put in the effort.
