Power of Play returns on 3/21/27!

GEF’s annual “Day of Play” is back for an 8th year on Sunday, March 21, 2027 from 11am-2pm! This FREE community event draws hundreds of Gloucester families to the GHS Field House to participate in dozens of fun activities, led by community volunteers and partners. Check out photos below from past years by community volunteer Marty Del Vecchio and GHS student photographers, and this video by 1623 Studios! Together, they will give you a taste for this beloved event. See below for LAST year’s activity schedule in English, Spanish and Portuguese. THIS year’s activity schedule will be posted ~March 1, 2027.
