Police Chief Edward Conley reports that paving projects will lead to road closures and detours and affect parking next week.

From Monday, April 29, to Friday, May 3, work crews will be grinding and paving East Main Street between Highland Street and Hammond Street.

As a result, inbound traffic will be detoured through Mount Pleasant Avenue, to Hammond Street, and then back to East Main Street.

Additionally, from Wednesday, May 1, to Friday, May 3, Western Avenue between Centennial Avenue and Middle Street will be ground and paved on the side toward the water. On Western Avenue, no parking signs will be in place on the westbound side of the avenue, and the double lane will be used for two-way traffic. 

Police will be at both sites to help direct traffic, but motorists in the area are advised to expect delays and to seek alternate routes if possible.

APRIL 23, 2024 ~ SAWYER FREE LIBRARY

A day of artistic expression and community fun!

Free and fun for all ages taking place at 20 and 21 Main Street in downtown Gloucester!

Gloucester Zine Fest presented by the Sawyer Free Library is taking place this Saturday, April 27, from 11 am to 3 pm at both 20 and 21 Main Street in Gloucester, MA. The festival, in celebration of the Library’s new zine collection, zine- making, and zine culture, promises a day filled with artistic expression, community engagement, and fun for all ages. It is free and open to everyone to attend and enjoy with free giveaways for the first 200 attendees. 

Attendees can look forward to a vibrant and engaging lineup of hands-on activities and workshops for all ages, including inspiring speakers and live music with a special performance by Gloucester Student Band, with the highlight being the Zine Marketplace at 20 Main Street. Participants of all ages can also unleash their creativity by crafting their own zine with local community partners Cape Ann Art Haven and Cape Ann Museum. And what’s a festival without some delicious treats? Attendees can indulge in some Holy Cow Ice Cream while immersing themselves in the world of zines. 

See the full schedule below or visit SawyerFreeLibrary.org.

The Sawyer Free Library would like to thank 20 Main Street, LLC, for the generous use of their space.

If you’re asking, “what’s a zine?” that’s ok. Zines are small-batch, DIY publications that provide a powerful platform of expression for underrepresented perspectives and voices. 

Gloucester Zine Fest is free and open to all. Learn more at sawyerfreelibrary.org
