With any luck the sun will come out and we can enjoy some of the outdoor, spring activities that we have all been anxiously awaiting to participate in. In addition to enjoying spring weather, there are some fun events going on as well.
Pick #1: Rockport’s Motif No. 1 Day
MAY 18, 2019 FROM 9AM TO 5PM
Motif No. 1 Day focuses on honoring Rockport’s heritage and future in the arts.
The Motif No.1 Day Festival celebrates Rockport. Poetry, dance, art, live music, interactive art, a 5k & Fun Run, local food (wood-fired pizza, grass-fed burgers and more!), small-batch craft beer and Massachusetts wine — all of it in honor of the red fishing shack that is known around the world as Motif No.1.

Pick #2: Birds, Bees & Butterflies
Families can head to the Cox Reservation in Essex for some kid-friendly fun between the hours of 10:00-1:00. The expansive views and and natural beauty of the Cox Reservation make it a good pick any day, but even more so when they are hosting one of their many great events. We’ve found a couple geocaching boxes there as well.

Pick #3: Operation: Safe + Boat
This event was such a great time last year and our city’s first responders are looking forward to a large turnout again this year. Bring the whole family down to Harbor Loop in Gloucester (near Maritime Gloucester, the Building Center, and the Gloucester Coast Guard Station). There will be several family friendly and important activities going on!
Thank you to the volunteers and, as always, to our First Responders for all that you do.
Pick #4: Rockport’s EMS Day
Likewise, this is always a fun event for families with young children. Take the opportunity to get up close to fire engines, rescue vehicles, police boats, and more!
Also take this opportunity to thank those who are always there to take care of us!
This event takes place right on Rockport’s T-Wharf from 11:00-3:00. Take some time to shop locally and grab a bite to eat with the family afterwards.
Good Morning Gloucester
