The Annual Middle Street Walk is a great way to experience Gloucester's Historic District while having Holiday fun with the family. An updated schedule of this years walk will be available for download on December 1, 2023 at this link.
In the past during the Middle Street Walk, families could decorate ornaments for the holidays with the Cape Ann Museum at Gloucester City Hall, have a ride on the CATA Trolley, drop by Cape Ann Art Haven to paint a buoy for use as an ornament on the Lobster Trap Tree, have a try at sculpting ice on the corner of Pleasant and Main streets, take a museum tour, listen to concerts and watch dance recitals, and take part in the Gingerbread House Contest Display at Gloucester City Hall*! There's a lot to do and see, with the grand finale being the lighting of the Lobster Trap Tree in courthouse square!
Whether you come for a visit or experience all of the day's events, you and the kids will be sure to have fun!
