Every morning we round up what’s happening in Gloucester and Rockport — the fairs, markets, pop-ups, waterfront happenings, library programs, school and community events — all in one place, so you don’t have to go hunting for it. Under the flyer, every event links back to the folks putting it on, so you can get the details straight from them.
