Terry and I love our Tuesday afternoon at the Welcoming Center at Stage Fort Park. The visitors enjoy are wonderful and beautiful park. Tuesday was beautiful and there was a photo shoot going on at the Gazebo.

Stage Fort Park never disapppoints.

Saturday was a beauty of a day. Rick and I ate our yearly pancake breakfast at Stage Fort Park. The Gloucester Rotary works very hard putting this event on. After breakfast we walked through the festival. It was nice to see more local artist exhibiting. One of my favorite booths is the Cape Ann Vernal Pond. Lulu the snake is a pretty snake. Her handler had much affection for Lulu.

Tuesday, there was a special event going on in the Gazebo at Stage Fort Park. A beautiful bride and handsome groom starting their life together.

Battle Gloucester was fantastic on Saturday. Stage For Park was alive with reenactors, a fantastic narrative and a wonderful crowd. There was so much to do and learn. Here are a couple of photos from the park. Remember volunteering has great benefits.

For 60 years, The Cupboard was a classic Gloucester summer tradition, serving up casual favorites for beachgoers, families, and locals alike. While no one could ever replace what it meant to this community, we’re honored to bring new life to this iconic location with the same fun, nostalgic spirit.
The Lunch Lady menu is packed with comfort food classics with our own twist — crispy chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, corn dogs, grilled cheese, tater tots, sweet treats, and more — perfect for summer days by the water.
Plenty of parking and picnic tables to boot!
Stay tuned for opening day, hours, and summer dates!

How hot was the weather on June 17, 1775 at the Battle of Bunker Hill?
Stage Fort Park came alive with hundreds of participants this weekend, each reenactor draped in layers of colorful, authentic period attire, creating an immersive spectacle worthy of a PBS miniseries. On this sweltering Sunday, the anniversary week of the fateful 1775 battle, spectators experienced firsthand how arduous the fighting must have been, getting a tangible sense of the summer conditions, too. Saturday there was a breeze. Participants found shade where they could. How hot were the tents? The temperature dipped into the 60s on Friday and Saturday and participants told me sleeping there was great.
