DCR Fall River Heritage State Park has announced that its theme for the 2019 season will be “The People and Culture of Fall River: Traditions and Transformations.”
Park programs, interactive activities, and events – including a lunchtime lecture series, film screenings, and exhibits — will be organized around monthly sub-themes of arrivals and beginnings, foodways, feasts and festivals, and family.
Current programs now available for viewing include “The Bay State: A Multicultural Landscape,” an exhibit of more than 400 photographs of new Americans by Mark Chester, and “The Fabric of Fall River,” a newly restored video that celebrates Fall River’s ethnic heritage. The video is shown daily at 11:00 a.m. in the park’s Visitor Center. Special group screenings are also available by request.
The park is open daily through Columbus Day. For more information, contact Maggi.Brown@mass.gov or call (508) 675-5759.
