Saint Peter Fiesta Description:
Every summer, Gloucester comes alive with Saint Peter’s Fiesta, a vibrant multi-day celebration honoring the patron saint of fishermen. From the Greasy Pole contest to seine boat races, carnival rides, and harbor processions, it’s one of New England’s most iconic waterfront festivals.
And there’s no better way to take it all in than aboard the WeJack, a beautiful, family-friendly boat with space for up to 46 guests. Whether you’re planning a laid-back afternoon or an unforgettable sunset outing, Cape Ann Cruises offers the perfect way to see Fiesta from the water.
Why a Cruise During Fiesta Week is a Must!
Saint Peter’s Fiesta transforms Gloucester’s working waterfront into a scene of lights, music, and maritime traditions, and the view of the harbor from the water is magical!
Watch the action from the water: From the Greasy Pole to the seine boat races, you’ll get a glimpse of Gloucester’s most beloved events.
See the lights from a new perspective: Our sunset cruise aligns perfectly with the evening buzz. As the harbor glows with energy, you’ll be cruising in comfort and style.
Avoid the crowds, enjoy the breeze: Whether you're a Fiesta veteran or a first-time visitor, a boat cruise gives you a relaxing escape from the packed streets without missing any of the excitement!
