Rockport Harvest Festival

On Saturday, October 19th from 10a-5p we will host the annual Rockport Harvestfest celebration featuring the best regional bounty of the season — all in an unbeatable setting.

New England food producers gather on one of Rockport’s historic working wharves to celebrate the best of #localfood with fresh #lobster #chowder #pastries #grassfedbeef #woodfiredpizza, #coldpressedjuice small-batch jams, locally-grown #produce and more. #craftbeer produced in Massachusetts are on hand, along with Rockport’s own Twin Lights, with soda crafted from the 120-year-old company’s original recipes. Cooking demonstrations take place throughout the day demonstrating the riches of harvest in #NewEngland. Entry to wharf free; drink bracelets $5 – please come and enjoy the bounty of the season!

Harvestfest features plenty of live #bluegrass #jazz #folk #indie #rock #cookingdemos and plenty of activities for #families

Harvestfest is funded in part by the sale of $5 drink bracelets that will be sold at the entrance to T-Wharf. Proceeds help to ensure that Harvestfest continues! Don’t drink? We appreciate all donations and will have special Harvesfest pins available, as well. Looking forward to celebrating with you!

Splash Over on Stacy Boulevard

It was incredible around 1:00 on Thursday.  The photos are a little shaky since I was almost taking flight.

Wow what a Thursday

Trees down, wires hanging, extremely windy, cable out but the ocean certainly does not disappoints.

These photos were taken at low tide.  Crazy

Scrap Metal Drive to Benefit the Phyllis A Marine Association

Get your stuff ready for the Phyllis A Scrap Steel Drive! See you at Fosters of Gloucester on Saturday, November 2nd!

This is reason kayak and canoe owners need to come and get their vessels.

This kayak went right out with the waves and tide.  This was on Magnolia Landing.

Spin Drift off Kettle Island

On Wednesday saw this spin drift and realized it was 4.5 hours before high tide.  We better be careful today.
