2024 Seafood Soirée – a gala to benefit New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center. This annual event celebrates the bounty of the sea. The 2024 event takes place under a tent at Cisco Brewers New Bedford overlooking the waterfront. Guests will enjoy local seafood in the nation’s most valuable fishing port, while watching the boats as they head out to sea and return with their catch. Taste more than a dozen dishes featuring local seafood and seasonal ingredients, prepared by the area’s finest chefs. Tickets include two beverages (choose from a selection of wine, beer, and signature cocktails). The event also features a “Fluke and Flounder” chance auction and live music from Manny Escobar.
