DIRECTIONS to the Gloucester Blues Festival - Gloucester, MA
• From Boston - Route 128 and Interstate 95 are the same highway from southern Massachusetts until Peabody, MA. In Peabody, Route 95 branches off toward New Hampshire and Maine. When traveling north on Interstate 95/Rte. 128, you must stay on Route 128 by keeping to the left at this point (this is exit
#45). Take Route 128 North to Gloucester, exit on Rt. 133 east and take Rt. 133 to the ocean. Turn right on Western Ave. (Rt. 127) and go 300’ to Hough Avenue – this is the entrance to Stage Fort Park, the festival grounds on the harbor. There is city parking in the park ($15.00) or you can park on Western Ave. or on neighborhood streets.
• From Boston's Logan Airport - Go right off the airport exit road onto Route 1A North. Follow for 3 miles to Route 60 West. Follow Route 60 to Route 1 North (in Saugus). Follow Route 1 North to exit onto Route 128/95 North and follow directions above. In normal traffic, this drive takes about 40 minutes.
• From New Hampshire and Vermont - Follow Interstate 93 or Route 3 South to Interstate 95 North. Follow Interstate 95 North to Route 128 North and follow directions above.
• From Maine and the New Hampshire Seacoast - Follow Interstate 95 South to 128 North, follow directions above.
• From the South (Boston and South Shore) - Follow either Interstate 93 or Route 1 North to Interstate 95 North and follow directions above.
• From the West (New York, Western MA, and beyond) - Follow Interstate 90 (Massachusetts Turnpike)
East to Exit 14 (Interstate 95). From northwestern MA or southern VT, follow Route 2 East to Interstate 95. Take Interstate 95 North to 128 North and follow directions above.
• From New York City - Rather than getting stuck in traffic on Interstate 95, the best way to drive to Gloucester from New York City is to take the West Side Highway to the Henry Hudson Parkway across the Spuyten Duyvil Bridge (it's the least expensive bridge with the least amount of traffic). Continue on the
Henry Hudson Parkway to the Saw Mill River Parkway NORTH to I 684 North to I 84 East to I 90 East to I 95 North to 128 North and follow directions above.
