At Anchor: A Stay-at-Home Soirée

New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center is excited to present At Anchor: A Stay-at-Home Soirée. In light of the ongoing pandemic, the Center will forgo its annual in-person fundraiser this year. Instead, the Center will host an online auction from October 1 through October 10 and will celebrate the “Bounty of the SouthCoast” with a Coupon and Recipe Book offering discounts to local restaurants and seafood markets and recipes from area chefs and fishing families.

            This year’s fundraiser begins with the Auction Kickoff Event at the Fishing Heritage Center on Thursday, October 1 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Browse auction items in the Center’s parking lot and enjoy live music from The Hot Club Cheese Roll. Masks will be required for entry to the parking lot and social distancing will be practiced throughout the space.

            The Auction will run on the Center’s website from October 1 through 10.

            In addition to the Auction, the Center will sell a Coupon and Recipe Book offering discounts to over 25 local restaurants and seafood markets as well as seafood recipes from local chefs and fishing families – a tremendous value for $35! Books will be available for purchase at the Fishing Heritage Center gift shop and online beginning October 1.

            For more information, see the Seafood Soirée page on the Center’s website at fishingheritagecenter.org/soiree.
