Upcoming Culture Splash Happenings:

Getting Around Culture Splash

Events in each cultural district are within walking distance of each other. To travel between Harbortown and Rocky Neck, take the harbor shuttle provided by Cape Ann Harbor Tours, which runs FREE every Thursday night!

The Cape Ann Harbor Tours shuttle runs continuously from 4:00 pm-8:00 pm with stops at the Harbormaster Dock, 51 Rocky Neck Restaurant, and St. Peter’s Square.

Coming from another part of town? CATA on Demand runs weeknights until 8:00 pm. Learn more and plan your trip here.

Parking & Public Transportation

Parking is available with payments through the Flowbird app or kiosks on-street and in lots around town. Download the app to see available parking locations ahead of your trip. (Note: Parking is not permitted on Harbor Loop during the Harbor Loop Summer Concert Series on Thursday nights.)

Culture Splash events are within walking distance of the Gloucester stop of the MBTA Commuter Rail. Visit Gloucester on Thursdays from points north on the Rockport line, or pick up the train at stations to the south like Beverly, Lynn, Salem, or Boston’s North Station. Be sure to take a Rockport-bound train as route is shared with the Newburyport line before splitting off toward Cape Ann. View Commuter Rail schedules here.

The annual Gloucester Culture Splash series is made possible in part by grant funding from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the City of Gloucester, and is powered by generous community volunteers.
