Over 25 unique cultural events will take place at cultural and business locations across the cultural district in Downtown Gloucester.

According to the MCC’s website, the “Cultural District Initiative drives economic growth, strengthens our distinctive local character, and improves the quality of life of families across Massachusetts.” Gloucester is also home to the Rocky Neck Cultural District, which was one of the five initial cultural districts in 2012. Gloucester was the first city in the commonwealth to have two distinct cultural districts. 

At the Arts Party, you can enjoy 7 art exhibitions, 4 musical performances, 3 video installations, 2 live art demonstrations, free kids activities, and so much more. The Sawyer Free Library will be hosting their Sawyer Free Library Arts Scavenger Hunt, you can participate by visiting the library to grab your checklist, and win prizes if you find a book related to the arts or a piece of art in the library. The City of Gloucester’s Community Development team will also be downtown, you can head to the I4-C2 site where they are teaming up with Schooner Adventure and Three Sheets to the Wind for sea shanties. 

“The Harbortown Cultural District is excited to pilot this new event to highlight contemporary art happening in Gloucester.” Said Gloucester’s Arts, Culture, and Events Coordinator Miranda Aisling Hynes. “We’ve got multiple video installations, contemporary gallery openings, and musical performances with incredible partners from across the district that showcase the depth of the cultural scene here in the city.”
