Fishermen

Fishermen. Have you ever had the opportunity to sit on the bleachers at the Newell Stadium and watch the Fishermen (football, lacrosse, soccer, track, etc) play on the New Balance Field? It is really quite special. The new wall that follows the river obstructs some of the view, but even so, watching the kids play while both recreational and commercial vessels head in and out of the harbor as the cut bridge goes up and down is super unique. I’ve often heard parents from opposing teams talk about what a great location we have. Gloucester things.

All funds raised during the event will help GSB go on tour this summer. The group will be traveling to
New Hampshire for two days and one night to play several concerts, including at nursing homes, at a
Manchester Fishercats Baseball Game, and at Canobie Lake Park.
