## Resource

Get ready for chaos, culture, and community at Gloucester’s legendary St. Peter’s Fiesta! The greasy pole contest—where climbers scramble up a 45-foot greased pole for a flag, often ending in epic slips into the water—is back, with past winners battling it out Sunday. This wild tradition, rooted in Gloucester’s Italian-American fishing heritage for nearly a century, kicks off tonight at 4:45 PM and repeats tomorrow. Beyond the pole, enjoy food, music, boat races, and an outdoor mass. Weather’s iffy with possible thunderstorms, but the spirit’s unbreakable. Winning means a street parade and family pride—this is more than a contest, it’s a living legacy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
