Community celebration on June 14 invites the North Shore to experience Jewish pride, joy, food, music, art, and connection
Gloucester, MA — In just one week, Stage Fort Park will come alive with Jewish music, culture, food, art, and family fun as the Cape Ann Jewish Cultural Festival returns to Gloucester on Sunday, June 14, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
The festival is free, family-friendly, and open to the entire community, welcoming people of all backgrounds from Cape Ann, and across the North Shore.
Hosted by Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Ann, the festival offers a joyful and welcoming way to experience Jewish culture in the heart of Cape Ann. Guests will enjoy live klezmer music, free children’s activities, artists and vendors, and kosher food available for purchase.
More than just a festival, organizers say the event is meant to be a public celebration of connection, belonging, and Jewish joy.
“At a time when Jewish identity is so often spoken about in the context of challenges, this festival offers something different,” said Rabbi Avremi Raichik, director of Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Ann. “It is a chance to celebrate Jewish life openly, proudly, and joyfully through music, food, art, family, and community.”
The Cape Ann Jewish Cultural Festival was created to bring people together and share the richness of Jewish culture with the broader community. The event is designed for all ages, whether attendees come for the music, the food, the kids’ activities, the vendors, or simply to enjoy an uplifting afternoon by the Gloucester waterfront.
“This is not only for the Jewish community,” Rabbi Raichik said. “It is for neighbors, families, friends, and anyone who wants to be part of a warm, meaningful, and joyful community celebration.”
Organizers are encouraging attendees to reserve free tickets in advance so they can prepare for the crowd.

Meet Billy, Billy made the journey to Massachusetts alongside his brother, Blue, in hopes of finding a forever home. After being found in a dangerous, high-traffic area with many stray dogs, a kind woman stepped in to bring the two brothers to safety-giving Billy the second chance he deserves. Just like his brother, Billy is a gentle, sweet soul who has done wonderfully living with other dogs and even cats in his foster home. He may be a bit shy when meeting new people, but with a little patience and reassurance, his loving personality starts to shine through. Billy is still gaining confidence and learning the basics, like walking on a leash. He would likely thrive in a home with another dog to help guide him and make him feel secure. With time, love, and a little encouragement, Billy is sure to blossom into an amazing companion.
Billy has joined our extended stay club, meaning his fee has been reduced in hopes to find his forever home!
Humans have been using plants as medicine for an estimated 60,000 years. Cannabis specifically has been used for health purposes since 2800 BC. Before the advent of modern pharmaceuticals, the only medicine available was from plants and animals. Many well-known medications were originally derived from plants, such as aspirin from willow bark and quinine from the cinchona tree. Until cannabis was effectively outlawed in 1937, it was widely prescribed by American herbalists and physicians.
Today, we are able to combine millennia of traditional wisdom with cutting-edge research to create potent plant medicine that truly works. Plus, we have the science and technology to guarantee potency, safety and efficacy.
Both then and now, humans and plants have coexisted, each relying on the other in countless ways. Plant medicine works in synergy, with a combined strength that’s greater than any individual part. In cannabis, the plant’s naturally occurring compounds – cannabinoids and terpenes – work better together than separately. This is commonly referred to as the “entourage effect.”
Plants possess many beneficial compounds. And, when carefully formulated with potent and purposeful ingredients, plant medicines deliver focused, targeted support when and where you need it most.
We use plants like lavender, ashwagandha and rhodiola rosea – along with plant-based ingredients like L-theanine and DHA – to complement full-spectrum CBD in formulas that support stress, promote sleep, relieve pain and more.
We believe in the power of plant medicine. We’ve seen the positive impact that CBD – and other botanicals – can have on a person’s quality of life. Made to work. Made for all. That’s our promise and our mission.
We carry a full line of CBD products from Bath time to Gummies. Please drop by Fridays and Saturdays 11-4 for a free wellness consultation or call to make an appointment 978-985-4592
