Thanks so much for meeting with us today. Attached is the flyer for the three upcoming events and the flyer for the Azorean fundraiser. This can be printed out and brought to the event, or can be picked up at the Chamber of Commerce and other places that will be posted on the Fireworks Facebook page.
And below is the link to our Facebook page.
If you have any questions, please just reach out. Thanks again!
I was walking at the waters edge when a group of Plover chicks started moving towards me. That’s not fair we’re not allowed to approach them but where are the signs for the Plovers to stay away from us? Is that fair?
Always fun being part of this wonderful community.

Jon Sarkin’s Fish City Studios, the heartbeat of outsider and experimental art on the North Shore will transform its 39 Main Street gallery into a three‑hour mash‑up of turntables, live painting, and new, fresh boundary‑pushing visuals on Saturday, May 24, from 5-8 PM.
The one‑night happening features:
Music from Lowell’s vinyl-enthusiast DJ collective Spins ’n’ Needles: Sets by Killed by Scott, DJ No Comply, and Heather Noecker will keep the vibe at a “reasonably raucous” level. Genres include garage, punk, and rocksteady.
Live painting by Patrick O’Donnell: Watch the Beverly-based punk rocker / house painter build a large‑scale work in real time.
Group show spanning five artists and two generations:
Fresh vault pulls from the late outsider legend Jon Sarkin
Vintage Janet archival prints by Globe photographer Janet Knott
“We’re turning Sarkin’s studio into a living laboratory where DJs, painters, and photographers collide—live, loud, and unfiltered,” says gallery director Mark Henderson.
The exhibition itself is open May 15–30 (Mon-Sat 10am-5pm) but the Memorial Day weekend reception is the only chance to experience the DJs and live art performance together.
Admission: Free. Walk‑ins welcome; RSVP appreciated on Facebook. Parking: Free after 4 p.m. Address: Jon Sarkin’s Fish City Studios, 39 Main St., Gloucester, MA 01930

We were very happy to welcome the Baltimore Orioles back to the yard once again this spring. As we expected, the males came first followed shortly after by the females. We are hosting at least 2 pairs. Their bright colors, loud chirping and courting rituals have made the window to the backyard our favorite viewing spot.

Want to help alleviate the impact of hunger here on Cape Ann? Donating to help stock the shelves at The Open Door is as easy as leaving a bag of nonperishable food by your mailbox this Saturday for Gloucester AND Rockport residents thanks to local letter carriers.
Each year, members of the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) organize the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive to collect donations of food in their communities. Donations on Cape Ann will be delivered directly to The Open Door.
Most needed donations include:
Coffee
Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, and salad dressings)
Cooking Oil
Peanut Butter
Canned Tuna
The Open Door asks the community to please avoid donating anything in glass containers.
Locally, the Ipswich and Manchester-by-the-Sea post offices are also participating in this year’s Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.
Those that live in communities other than Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester-by-the-Sea, or Ipswich can check with their local post office to see if they are participating in this weekend’s food drive.

In 2015 the first livestream began. Over the years, with a lot of hard work, it has grown into a great amenity for an international audience to view our unique sporting events. Each year the livestream continues to grow, and our group continues to look for new and exciting ideas to incorporate. With each year’s growth, it requires additional people and resources. To date, the organizations involved do so by volunteering their time, skills, and covering the expenses out of pocket.
Last year, we had over 170,000 live views throughout the weekend! Streamography’s broadcast can be viewed through Bridge Cape Ann’s YouTube channel and Facebook page, as well as 1623 Studios to reach every cable subscriber on Cape Ann. (You may have noticed how many local venues hosted Fiesta watch parties!) And for the third straight year, LiveNOW from Fox – a massive online network operated by Fox Television Stations – will be sharing our live coverage around the world for all three days of the main sporting events!
As a member of the Fiesta Committee, I want to offer various sponsorship opportunities to your business or organization to support our efforts. This year we are offering 3 tiers of sponsorship options for businesses and organizations interested in reaching our audience (Sponsorship Flyer Attached).
If you are not familiar with the St. Peter’s Fiesta Livestream, here is a link of last year’s event to see our passion in providing local tradition, cultural history, along with the livestream of our events! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jakc86WPZD0&t=12s
The St. Peter’s Fiesta Livestream Committee aligns with local businesses core values on being a part of the Cape Ann community while providing locals with the best services possible. By becoming a sponsor of this event, you will be provided with:
Increased Brand Visibility: Different options based on the tier selected
Targeted Audience Engagement: Our viewers are across many platforms locally and globally, on social media and television. Your brand will undoubtedly reach thousands of people throughout our 3 days of live coverage.
Positive Community Impact: By sponsoring this year’s St. Peter’s Fiesta, you will become a part of supporting our amazing city’s history, culture, and community.
We are confident that a partnership with you would be mutually beneficial. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this opportunity further. Please feel free to send a private message or email us at stpetersfiesta.org@gmail.com with any questions!
Sincerely,
St. Peter’s Fiesta Committee, Inc. Streamography Bridge Cape Ann 1623 Studios
