Celebrate the holiday spirit with the 4th Annual Winter Lights on Cape Ann! Discover Gloucester, in partnership with the Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce, invites everyone to experience the festive charm of our coastal communities from Small Business Saturday on November 25th through New Year’s Day.

This year, more than 100 small businesses across Gloucester, Essex, Ipswich, Manchester-by-the-Sea, and Rockport are illuminating their storefronts to celebrate the holiday season. In quintessential New England fashion, these beautiful communities transform into winter wonderlands each year, with sparkling lights and creative window displays, offering a perfect backdrop for holiday shopping and memorable outings.

“The Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce is pleased to partner with Discover Gloucester, presenting the 4th Annual Winter Lights on Cape Ann. This is a magical time of year in our one-of-a-kind region, and Winter Lights is a joyous and festive opportunity to explore our communities throughout the holiday season. We are so excited to have participation from over 100 businesses, who take pride in their creative holiday displays and spreading holiday cheer throughout our Cape Ann and Ipswich communities. Please take a drive, or stroll, and check out the beautiful lights and displays, created for your enjoyment, and be sure to cast your vote for your favorite display. As always, remember to support local businesses by shopping at local businesses, throughout the holiday season,” remarks Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Officer Steve Buckley. 

Back by popular demand is the much-anticipated decorating contest. Spectators and shoppers are encouraged to explore each town, enjoy the festive ambiance, and vote for their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place choices for the Best Winter Lights on Cape Ann. Voting starts on Small Business Saturday, November 25th, and winners will be announced in the New Year, with exciting prizes up for grabs.

“We’re thrilled to see Winter Lights on Cape Ann get a little more festive and expansive each year, with a great group of businesses across all five communities in the Greater Cape Ann region! The holiday season is a truly magical time to explore picturesque Gloucester and our neighbors, with festive lights, holiday events, walkable downtowns lined with shops, surrounded by the serenity of the sea,” says Discover Gloucester Executive Director Tess McColgan.

We began the quadricentennial celebrations in January with a very boisterous hockey game between the Bruins Alumni team and Gloucester High School Alumni. At that time, the score was 6  – 3 for the Bruins. The Dorothy Talbot rink rocked and was at full capacity.

We hope to repeat that same enthusiasm for a game between Boston College Eagles and Northeastern University’s Women’s College Hockey team thanksgiving weekend. Hosted by Gloucester 400+ and the Athletic Committee, it’s the perfect post-Thanksgiving family event.

Tickets are available on line at www.Gloucesterma400.org 

The price has been kept to @$5.00. Gloucester 400+ and the Athletics Committee have made available free tickets to our many partner organizations that serve their clients.
