    Only 3 days until “Gloucester’s So Salty!” Celebrate the fish city’s salty character with local cultural institutions and businesses during “Gloucester’s So Salty” on Saturday, January 22 and Sunday, January 23 from 1:00-4:00 pm! Inspired by our friends down in Salem and their annual Salem’s So Sweet event, Gloucester’s two-day event will include ice sculptures on display, salty sweets for sale, free kids art activities, and much more. Bundle up and stroll down Pleasant Street and Hancock Street or wander across Main Street and Rogers Street to find lots of free activities. Take a selfie with an Ice Sculpture inspired by Virginia Lee Demetrios’ The Gossips in the Cape Ann Museum Courtyard. Then stop by any participating business to write your own Gratitude Gossip, something positive that you’d like to spread around the community, and bring it to the ice sculpture at the Cape Ann Museum. ❄️ Find a schedule of events at the Museum and kickstart an afternoon of winter exploration around the streets of Gloucester. The Cape Ann Museum will be free and open to the public both days. Event partners: Cape Ann Art Haven, MAGMA Gloucester, Maritime Gloucester, Dogtown Book Shop, The Bookstore of Gloucester, Discover Gloucester, and the Gloucester Cultural Council. This event is free and open to the public. Learn more at https://www.capeannmuseum.org/events/gloucesters-so-salty/. ______________________ Photo by Frank Robinson, Cannery at Ten Pound Island, February 17, 1918.
