August Adventures offers free museum admission
Children’s Museum of Greater Fall River and the New Bedford Whaling Museum are among the many places your family can enjoy for free this month as the Highland Street Foundation launches its August Adventures program.
Each day throughout the month of August there is one museum, zoo, nature sanctuary or event offered with no admission fee.
August Adventures, modeled after Highland Street’s long-standing Free Fun Fridays program, will provide enriching opportunities for individuals, children and families throughout the state. From children’s museums to art to nature sanctuaries, there is something for everyone.
FALL RIVER Bill Desmarais says he’ll settle for backwards.
“Instead of step one, two, three it’s three, two, one. But that’s OK as long as it gets done,” the senior vice commander of the Fall River and Greater Fall River War Veterans Council said.
Desmarais was referring to the recent volunteer-driven creation of a shady and cool picnic ground on the banks of the South Watuppa Pond adjacent to the former Dave’s Beach, which closed in the early 1970s.
The ribbon cutting for the single-acre, city site at the bottom of Jefferson Street to be known as Fall River Family Picnic Grove is scheduled for noon on Saturday, July 31.
