5th Annual Gloucester’s So Salty

Saturday January 24, 2026 & Sunday January 25, 2026

Free and open to the public

Join us in celebrating the fish city’s recognizably salty character with the 5th Annual Gloucester’s So Salty, a festival sponsored by the Cape Ann Museum in partnership with Discover Gloucester.

This annual event brings over 2,000 people to the downtown area each January to shop at local stores, enjoy family friendly activities, visit the Museum, and find each of the ice sculptures sponsored by local cultural institutions and businesses.

We’re excited to partner with CAM again for the 5th Gloucester’s So Salty! We’ll have 10% off select Salty Reads + special delivery of ‘salty’ candles from A Tale of Two Candles!

To see the full schedule of events, map of ice sculptures, and list of participating businesses, visit Cape Ann Museum’s website!
