🥕 Join us for a Sip & Sow evening at Cape Ann Lanes and Laneside Pub & Brewery, where we’ll share tips and guidance for successfully starting your own veggie garden in containers this year. Backyard Growers will be planting herbs and veggies for the season in the brewery’s beer garden planters.
🍻 Thanks to Laneside Brewery for collaborating with Backyard Growers on Grow Wild, their new limited edition sour featuring prickly pear. $1 from every Grow Wild goes to supporting Backyard Growers’ programs in the community connecting people with the resources, space, and knowledge they need to grow their own food.
💚 Your ticket purchase for this event also supports Backyard Growers’ programs.
🍅 Come on down to chat veggie gardens and enjoy a delicious brew!
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
