Gloucester Schooner Festival
 
Every year over Labor Day weekend, Gloucester harbor, the oldest fishing port
in America, is the backdrop for a unique mix of old and new as modern-day
trawlers share their home port with traditional fishing vessels from the age of
sail.
The Gloucester Schooner Festival celebrates the major contribution of
the classic fishing schooner to the history of Gloucester. The weekend's
events feature these grand vessels as they compete in the Mayor's Race for the Esperanto Cup, a
trophy from the first International Fishermen's Races sailed in 1920.
Each fall, the Lannon participates in the annual Gloucester Schooner
Festival. The 25th annual Gloucester
Schooner Festival in 2009 did not disappoint, with close to 25 schooners
competing in Sunday's Schooner Race.
We take passengers for the Parade of Sail and the Schooner Race itself. It is
truly the best way to see the schooners up close! Lots of our passengers sign up
for the next year's race as they leave the Lannon on Race Day. Make your plans
now to join us on Labor Day Weekend in 2010 for the 26th annual Gloucester
Schooner Festival.
