Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Annual event- Saturday of Labor Day Weekend. All boats welcome to join us at Jones Creek before 7pm on the Annisquam river. Then parade towards Gloucester Harbor, through the bridges and into the harbor and Gloucester inner harbor coves. Ending with fireworks! For spectators – you can view the parade anywhere along the route, but the popular spots are along Gloucester Boulevard where a Concert also happens and then fireworks over the harbor. Other spots are at waterfront restaurants and businesses. Houses and businesses along the route are encouraged to light up and get involved on the shore line. This is a free event to enter and the view. Parking is available around the city, there are no designated event parking areas. A great annual event for all, in conjunction with the annual Schooner Festival.

The Move- Pulling Up to North Shore Sports Dock Next To Beacon Marine and Getting a Couple Bags of Their Perfect Ice For Your Boat Coolers When You Fuel Up.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I want you to notice something that more times than not is not the case- When you get your ice at North Shore Sports Dock its not all clumped up and stuck together. It’s individual cocktail cube shaped that dumps out nicely and fills all the crevices around your beverages to keep them frosty cold. They also use the ice bags that have the drawstrings which allows you to re-use the bags for trash after. Wins all the way around!!!

Pro-tip- get your ice on your way out of Smith Cove in East Gloucester. You’ll be glad you did!

North Shore Sports Dock

211 E Main St, Gloucester, MA

Open until 6:00 PM

Mayor Verga Announces Completion of Gloucester’s Comprehensive Plan: A Community Roadmap for the Next Decade

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Gloucester, MA — Mayor Greg Verga is proud to announce the completion and official adoption of the City of Gloucester’s Comprehensive Plan 2025–2035,  a forward-looking, community-driven roadmap that will guide growth, priorities, and investment over the next 10 years.

“This is more than just a document, it’s a promise to our community,” said Mayor Verga. “It’s aspirational, actionable, and attainable. And it reflects what thousands of Gloucester residents shared with us about their hopes for the future of our city.”

The Comprehensive Plan was developed over two years through robust public engagement, with nearly 4,000 community participation touchpoints through surveys, meetings, workshops, and events. The result is a visionary plan centered on local values and goals, Gloucester’s unique identity, natural beauty, working waterfront, creative economy, and iconic neighborhoods.

Key highlights from the plan include:

  • Upgrading infrastructure,  including roads, water, sewer, schools, and recreational facilities, to support evolving community needs.
  • Expanding housing options for residents at all life stages and income levels.
  • Supporting economic growth by strengthening Gloucester’s marine economy and attracting innovation-driven industries.
  • Creating safer, healthier connections through walkable neighborhoods, expanded bike and transit access, and public health investments.

Mayor Verga plans to appoint an Implementation Committee, composed of community members, city staff, and representatives from boards and commissions, that will be tasked with ensuring meaningful and transparent progress on the plan’s goals. The following phase will include annual reporting, performance tracking, and continued public involvement.

“This effort has been central to my vision for Gloucester since day one,” said Mayor Verga. “It’s deeply gratifying to see this plan finalized and I’m incredibly proud of the team effort it represents. From the Planning Board and City staff to our partners and residents, Gloucester showed up and helped shape this together. Now, the real work begins: turning vision into action.”

The Community Development Department will present the plan to the City Council on Tuesday, July 22, 2025.

The full plan is available on the City of Gloucester’s website at https://tinyurl.com/gloucestercompplan.

Margarita Monday At Mile Marker 1 bluefin Blowout Event

Posted on by Pat D

Many of you are aware we spent quite a bit of time down at this year’s Bluefin Blowout held at the Mile Marker 1 Marina. It was an amazing fundraising event to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association. So, the margarita last Monday at the FUNraising Bash tasted extra yummy. A day or so later we were honored to witness the arrival of the champion 728 lb tuna brought in by Jimmy Rig Charters (see video below)
