Spring has sprung, the weather is warmer, the days are longer, and just in time for Earth Day. AHA! celebrates our “Sustainable SouthCoast” on April 9.
AHA! (Arts, History and Architecture!) is a FREE family-friendly event held rain or shine on the second Thursday of each month from 5:00 to 9:00 pm in historic downtown New Bedford – but feel free to arrive early and stay late.
