Essex Ed will make his big reveal on Sunday, January 26 at 2pm, when he emerges from Essex Boat Works for his annual procession up Main Street in Essex Village.

Every year in celebration of Groundhog Day (officially on February 2 this year), a community organization dresses Essex Ed – a twelve-foot paper mache version of a groundhog – in a costume that recognizes a person or special occasion. That organization and costume remain top secret until Essex Ed appears for his journey to his place of honor at the roundabout on the top of Main Street.
