Celebrate the fish city’s recognizably salty character with local cultural institutions and businesses during the 3rd Annual Gloucester’s So Salty festival on January 20 and 21, 2024 from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm! Over 1,800 people came out last year to share their salty pride while enjoying free ice sculptures and cultural activities around Downtown Gloucester.
The Cape Ann Museum is partnering with Discover Gloucester and several area cultural institutions and businesses to offer two full days of free programming in the coldest part of the year. Inspired by the annual Salem’s So Sweet event, this two-day event will include ice sculptures, live music, salty treats, free kids’ art activities, and much more.
Specific times subject to change, check back soon for even more fun activities!

A POEM BY BOB ALVES
She waits for those – Who cannot return
They she gave port – seasons past and once again
She looks back and leaves not without remembrance, for etched are the names – Knelt at the entrance
She is a warm blanket, providing comfort and alike
Well read, silently-still, amid promise – watching leaders voice in the lights
Though garments worn while seasons pass become frail – Life’s renewing cause, She inertly hales
For She will live long and has been taught
Comforted by garments of eld, provides not
A Nor-easter, a heartfelt sigh
The clouds forewarn, some may die
It is now We, silently watched with a grin
She waits for those – Who cannot return
They She gave port – seasons past – and once again
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bob Alves is a graduate of Gloucester High School and Boston College. Bob’s waterfront roots go back to the early 70’s
when he worked as a dock-boy for John Cluett with his brother Dean at Bickford’s Marina in Rocky Neck. At the age of 15 Bob’s grandmother bought him the first of many boats, a “Montgomery Fish” sailboat. Now in his mid-sixties, Bob continues to be a waterfront activist and enjoys his time with his brother aboard the “Message She Gave.”
