About The Collaboration

The “Gloucester Collaboration” is an exciting new program with a mission to enhance the quality of life for residents of each of the thirteen communities named Gloucester around the globe. Officially kicking off in 2022, many Gloucester communities are connecting in fun and interesting ways, learning from each other, discovering similarities, and celebrating differences. 

In 2022, the Gloucester Collaboration hosted the inaugural “Global Gloucester Day” celebration on Sept. 3. “Gloucester Day,” an event traditionally celebrated in Gloucester, England, dates to the lifting of the Siege of Gloucester in 1643, when the city held out against Royalist forces during the First English Civil War. Now held on the first Saturday in September, the 2022 version of Gloucester Day was celebrated across the world, and signifies the most important annual celebration for the burgeoning Gloucester Collaboration.
