Firebird Pops Orchestra returns to Hammond Castle Museum for a night of music from the silver screen this Friday evening!
A smaller, chamber orchestra division of FPO will perform creative existing and custom arrangements of iconic film scores on our seaside lawn. Conductor Brendan J. Kenney will lead the chamber orchestra through the sweeping, magical scores of films and tv series such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, The Avengers, Game of Thrones, The Wizard of Oz, and more!
As always, special event ticket holders are eligible for a 20% discount on self-guided tours prior to 3pm on the day of the ticketed event. Parking is free.
All proceeds from this program will support the restoration and preservation of the 13th century, French cloister archways which are located at the front of the museum.
The Massachusetts RMV has announced some changes in the way required vehicle inspections and stickers take place starting November 1 2022 (so, soon…pay attention if you are a procrastinator). If you get your inspection after the due date, the new sticker will reflect the previous month of expiration instead of the current month. So, if your inspection is due by the end of November, but you don’t get the inspection done until December, the new sticker will reflect November and not December. Procrastinators will no longer benefit from the added time previously gained by waiting. These changes are imminent so take note.

I saw that Fox Creek Tavern on High Street in Ipswich was planning a special tasting event for Chandon Garden Spritz (which is my new favorite sparkling wine) so I went online to make reservations to enjoy the tasting and the music along with our dinner. I was not disappointed! There was a special menu of Garden Spritz drinks (I tried Speed Racer) and half price appetizers. GMG Jim ordered pretzel sticks with cheese dip. Jim’s meal was a Turkey BLT sandwich and I chose the blackened fish tacos (with Gloucester haddock). They offer a salad bar which is unusual around here. We were glad to have made reservations because it got busy during the dinner hour. Madisyn, our server, gets a shout out for taking great care of us.
The Chandon representative at the tasting was friendly and informative. The music was entertaining, though I neglected to take note of the artist (my oversight) so the deck dining was lively. We hadn’t been to Fox Creek Tavern in a while but it’s worth the short ride.

On Saturday, October 1st artists from places as close as Gloucester, Rockport and Ipswich and as far away as Oregon, Texas, Arizona and Wisconsin will descend onto Cape Ann for a week-long outdoor painting event. 36 juried artists will paint all over the Greater Cape Ann communities, creating magnificent paintings of spectacular locations.
On Sunday morning there’s the wildly popular Quick Draw at the Cox Reservation in Essex, where the 36 CAPA artists will be joined by another 80 local artists to complete a painting in only two hours, and then have the paintings judged for prizes and offered for sale. This event is free to the public and there will be local food truck genie Phresh Phoods there with lunch for sale. Sunday evening will feature the artists at the Booth Cottage in beautiful Manchester by the Sea.
Spectators will be able to find the artists on the rocky shores, sandy beaches, on the water and on the backroads of the 5 communities starting on Saturday Oct 1 through Friday, Oct 7th. There are daily demos where aspiring artists can learn from a local, seasoned professional. In the evening there is a dinner in a different local restaurant where one of the CAPA artists will be painting while you enjoy your dinner and watch a master at work. On Thursday evening October 6th all 36 artists will paint at the Nocturne event in the west end of Gloucester, painting street scenes while the sun goes down and darkness descends. And the grand climax of the week is the ticketed Gala at the Rockport Golf Club on Saturday, October 8th starting at 4PM. Thirty-six artists with a total of 180 entered into the competition to win over $20K in prizes and all paintings will be offered for sale. On Sunday the sale will continue until 3PM with the Events Judge offering his process of choosing top winners and the 12 specific awards during a Gallery Walk and Talk.
