CAPE ANN CHAMBER OF COMMERCEROCKPORT DIVISION

33 Commercial St., Gloucester, MA 01930978-283-1601

For more information about Rockport and the Cape Ann area, please Visit us on the web at:rockportusa.com or capeannvacations.com

Stroll about Rockport’s quaint downtown cultural district, and enjoy the ambiance of

a seaside community that offers a wide selection of art galleries and unique shopping and dining experiences in a picturesque setting. Rockport has something special to offer in every season. Rockport Music presents superlative musical entertainment all year long at the Shalin Liu Performance Center while Rockport Art Association & Museum offers multiple exhibits, galleries and art shows throughout

the year. Annual events include May’s Motif No.1 Day and Memorial Day parade; the Firemen’s July 4th Parade and Bonfire; summertime Farmers Markets; August’s Lob-sterfest and Fireworks; October’s HarvestFest; the annual Christmas in Rockport celebration; and Rockport New Year’s Eve.Explore Rockport’s rugged yet accessible shoreline along the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway (Routes 127 and 127A). Nearly half of this 85 mile drive takes you in and around Cape Ann,

with over nine miles in Rockport alone. From a Twin Lights sunrise at Long Beach to sunsets over Ipswich Bay at Halibut Point, you can spend a delightful day or a whole lifetime meandering Rockport’s coastal pathways and woodland trails. Its unique mix of light and sea and sky, granite-edged harbors and coves and sweeping tides creates memorable and constantly renewing vistas at every turn. Through the years and the cycles of the seasons, Rockport’s beauty and allure endure.

The Blue Gate Park & Ride facility seasonally offers 200 free parking spaces and a $1 trolley shuttle to downtown and Front and Back Beaches, and includes stops at Rockport’s MBTA train station. It is conveniently located on Route 127, just one-half mile from downtown. If you arrive by train, follow the color-coded Green, Red and Blue Diamonds painted on the sidewalks leading from the station to downtown Rockport. Choose among the Beaches (Green: King and Beach Streets), Main Street (Red),

or Broadway (Blue) routes; all are scenic and welcoming walkways to and from the center of our beautiful town. Welcome to Rockport!

We invite you to explore the historic sites and natural

beauty of Rockport.
