To usher in the quadricentennial year, on Dec. 31, Gloucester 400+ will put on a “ball drop” bash at City Hall, taking place as the clock turns to midnight in the city’s namesake of Gloucester, England and in Dorset, England, which four centuries ago sent out the band of English fisherman who would build a settlement here.

“Countdown to 2023!” will take place Saturday, Dec. 31, at 6:30-8:30 p.m., at Gloucester City Hall, with hot chocolate and cookies being served, and noisemakers supplied for all. Mayor Greg Verga and 400+ tri-Chair Bob Gillis will be counting to the stroke of midnight in the United Kingdom (at 7 p.m. here). The event is free and open to all comers.

Everybody likes to get a little Madhouse, but no one has a better time than the eight piece powerhouse rythm and blues band led by Singer Songwriter John Keegan. Put on your dancing shoes and head to Blue Collar Lobster for a light hearted night of cocktails and dancing with the band and special guests. Funds from the evening’s festivities will directly support free, public programming across the city and throughout 2023!

Doors open at 7:00pm. Music starts at 7:30pm.

Event will include a cash bar. Please note this event is 21+ and IDs will be checked at the door.

The mission of Gloucester 400+ is to commemorate, celebrate and learn about Gloucester’s cultural, social, ethnic and economic diversity

The year 2023 marks 400 years in the history of America’s oldest seaport recognizing its settlement by English colonizers in 1623. The theme of the quadricentennial, “Our People, Our Stories”, focuses on commemorating Gloucester’s history through the stories of those who lived here: Indigenous peoples, English colonists, free Blacks, enslaved Africans, and the many waves of immigrants who built this city from past to present. The anniversary seeks to be a truthful telling of the complex story of the place we now call Gloucester.
