September AHA! Night: Catch The Tradition
Thursday, September 12 | 6:00 PM | Fishing Heritage Center Parking Lot | Free!
2024 marks the 25th anniversary of AHA! Night, celebrating New Bedford’s stunning art, history, and architecture all night long! Visit FHC staff and volunteers in the Whaling Museum parking lot starting at 4pm to make your very own crab hat! These cute, easy to make crustacean creations are perfect for kids and adults alike!
Then at 6pm in the FHC parking lot, the public is invited to attend an official unveiling and dedication of FHC’s new art installation, Catch the Tradition, featuring the craftsmanship of members of New Bedford’s fishing community and photographs from local artists! Stop by FHC to meet the team behind the project. Light refreshments to be served.
Catch the Tradition is supported by New Bedford Creative, a Storefront Improvement Grant from the City of New Bedford, LaFrance Hospitality, and BayCoast Bank. Reidar’s Trawl Gear & Marine Supply donated the labor and materials to produce the net and frames. This project was made possible by their generous support.
Remember, admission to the Center is FREE on AHA! Nights!
