The Gloucester Schooner Festival is an event put on by Maritime Gloucester and has become a community wide celebration of the age of sail in Gloucester Harbor. Every Labor Day Weekend schooners from all over travel to Gloucester to race and to show off their beauty and grace both under sail and as a dock-side attraction.

This year, the festival takes place from Aug 30, 2024, 12:00 AM – Sep 02, 2024, 7:00 PM in Gloucester. Fireworks can be seen from the Beauport on Saturday, Aug 31. The bride and groom will be at the 21+ rooftop pool at the Beauport then!
