Looking forward to going through all the festival pics you all shared with us and tagged us in. But we have a request for today's pics. Let's see you in your festival gear... shirts, sweatshirts, hats. Or enjoying a beverage out of your Schooner Festival water bottle. There may or may not be coffee in Carol's bottle in this pic.

We're hoping to get the remaining merch up on the Maritime Gloucester website so those that missed the fun this year can still snag some gear.

We are loving seeing everyone's pictures from the weekend. Keep them coming!!!
