Gloucester Sidewalk Days, hosted by the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce’s retail division, opens today and continues tomorrow and Saturday, with Main Street closed to vehicular traffic from Pleasant to Washington streets — and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. — each day.
The Sidewalk Days festival has a new flavor, and a new name, but it essentially marks the continuation of the traditional Gloucester Sidewalk Bazaar, which marked its golden anniversary in 2008.
With the help of Blackburn Performing Arts, the Chamber has extended the live music program to two venues, one in the West End and the other near BankGloucester. To read full article, click here.
