Cape Ann, May 1, 2024 – The first ever Cape Ann Pride Weekend will take place with events planned in Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester and Essex from Friday, May 31, to Sunday, June 2, 2024. The weekend will include a beach party, musical performance, DJ dance party, museum tours, pride flag raisings, bowling, a pub mixer, tea dance and other fun events to celebrate and support LGBTQIA+ community and culture on Cape Ann.
The weekend, which coincides with the start of Pride Month in June, is organized by the Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce and the grassroots Cape Ann Pride Coalition. Some Cape Ann Pride Weekend events will be specifically geared toward LGBTQIA+ youth, their families and ally community members.
“The Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce is proud to be a founding organizer and partner in the creation of the first Cape Ann Pride Weekend,” said Chief Executive Officer Steve Buckley. “The chamber is committed to advancing inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility across Greater Cape Ann, and Cape Ann Pride Weekend will make clear that we are a welcoming, tolerant and open community.”
Cape Ann Pride Weekend will be packed with fun events including a Bowling with Pride event for LGBTQIA+ youth, families and friends at Cape Ann Lanes; a musical performance by Kicked Off the Bus at Whale’s Jaw Cafe; a family Pride Picnic on the Cape Ann Museum green; a Pride kickoff DJ dance at The Cut; tours of the Beauport Sleeper-McCann House; an 18+ beach party hosted by the North Shore Health Project on Pavilion Beach; a 21+ tea dance on the pier behind Maritime Gloucester; and pride flag raisings in Essex, Gloucester and Manchester (the latter organized by North Shore Pride). To see the full schedule of events including those that require reservations or tickets, visit CapeAnnPride.org.
“Cape Ann is a special, eclectic place,” said Savannah Hopkins, a ninth grader at Rockport High School and Cape Ann Pride Coalition member. “Cape Ann Pride Weekend will be a chance to unite and have fun and demonstrate our wonderful LGBTQIA+ diversity – to say at the top of our lungs that we’re here, some of us are queer, and we’re part of the community every day as your friends, family and coworkers.”
Across the country, Pride Month marks the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion and is recognized with celebrations, parades, performances and other events to shine a spotlight on LGBTQIA+ culture and honor its achievements and history. LGBTQIA+ community members have long called Cape Ann home, and this year’s Cape Ann Pride Weekend will be the first time LGBTQIA+ residents and culture is celebrated in a full-scale, organized way.
“As a bisexual man, I was concerned along with my strong ally wife about whether we’d be welcomed and find a strong LGBTQIA+ and allied community on Cape Ann,” said George Grattan, a Gloucester resident who moved from Boston three years ago. “We’ve found Cape Ann to be welcoming and supportive, and we couldn’t be happier living and working here.”

Dining a la Fresco. I watched this seagull enjoy his breakfast on top of the neighbor’s chimney. He was keeping a watchful eye out for other birds to swoop in and steal his meal.
I mentioned recently that we went to Cogswell’s Grant on Spring St in Essex to observe Kite Day. We got there plenty early and had time to wander the grounds a bit. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been there and a spring day seemed like a perfect excuse for a walk around. The grounds are free access, the folk art museum has an admission charge if you are not a member of Historic New England (it’s worth seeing the exhibits if you care to). Anyhow, there’s something special about farms in the springtime.
This Saturday, May 4th, Cedar Rock Gardens is donating all profits from plant sales to Backyard Growers! Our team will be there throughout the day (8am – 4pm), ready to answer veggie gardening questions and share stories of our impact in the community. Cedar Rock Gardens is such an amazing partner to us and supporter of our work – we can’t thank them enough for their generosity! All money raised on May 4th will go directly towards our programs in the community and Gloucester’s schools.
Visit Cedar Rock Gardens at 299 Concord Street in West Gloucester on May 4 to support Backyard Growers and pick up some beautiful plants for your garden. We’ll see you there!
