We’ll be at Harvey Park from 12-4pm with snakes from New England and around the world. Set up at 11am. Event runs all day but staggered vendors so we're on from 12-4pm. The Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce is excited to bring back this beloved community event, long cherished by residents and visitors as a celebration of Rockport’s iconic fishing shack. We invite you to join us on Saturday May 17 (rain date May 18) for this all-day, family-friendly event to experience the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the beautiful coastal community of Rockport. The Motif No.1 Day Festival celebrates the Arts in Rockport. And all of it centers around the fishing shack-artist’s studio-tourist attraction that started it all: an old building right on one of Rockport’s historic wharves that was painted so often by artists at the turn of the last century that it was given the nickname Motif No.1 by Lester Hornby, a well know artist and instructor of the period. Film, poetry, dance, music, art-making activities, and beer are all a part of the festival, as well as historical presentations and a 5k Road Race and Fun Run, with proceeds to benefit Rockport Public Schools’ wellness initiatives.
