“What do you want to do ?”
If you need an answer to this age-old question for making plans, we’ve got you covered.
In Things To Do, we take a look at, well, things to do, happening every week in the Fall River area and around the SouthCoast.
From weekdays to weekends, there’s always plenty going on.
And we’re not only taking a look at what’s happening this week, we’re also giving you a heads-up for events that are coming soon.
This week, we’ve got a salute to summertime with Tiverton Farmers Market's End of Summa Sizzla. Plus, AHA celebrates 25 years, live music, sunset yoga, and even a dramatic reading of whaling letters.
So when someone asks you what you want to do, you’ve got your plans ready to go.
Here are Things To Do around Fall River, the SouthCoast, and beyond this week:
