St. Peter’s Fiesta 2024

The annual St. Peter’s Fiesta returns to Gloucester from June 26 through June 30, sponsored by the town’s Italian-American fishing community. The event features live music every night and decorations throughout downtown. Other festival highlights include a carnival, the open air Mass on Sunday morning, the procession of the life-sized St. Peter statue followed by a parade, the blessing of the fishing fleet, and the Greasy Pole contest, in which contestants try to capture the flag at the end of a greased pole extended over the harbor.
