    One of the greatest traditions here in Gloucester is St. Peter’s Fiesta: an event that combines a religious festival, maritime history, and community celebration. This year, Fiesta runs from June 22 - 26! It is a celebration of the city’s commercial fishing and faith, which has evolved over generations into a city-wide party. The celebration offers parades of statues, icons through the streets, Seine boat races, the blessing of the city’s commercial fishing fleet, religious masses & prayer, a carnival, and The Greasy Pole contest. The festival is sponsored and organized by the St. Peter's Fiesta Committee, led by Gloucester's Italian American community.
