  • Buzzards Bay Swim

    Cisco Brewers New Bedford 1482 E Rodney French Blvd., New Bedford, MA, United States

    Kick off summer at the 33rd annual Buzzards Bay Swim! Once a year, the New Bedford Harbor shipping channel closes to all boat traffic so that hundreds of swimmers of all ages and abilities can make the unforgettable 1.2-mile open water crossing from New Bedford to Fairhaven. Assisted by a robust on-water safety team, swimmers navigate the scenic route past Butler Flats Lighthouse and through the New Bedford Hurricane Barrier before reaching the finish at Fort Phoenix. There, a lively beach party awaits with cheering crowds, live music, pancakes cooked to order, gourmet coffee, and local beer. All swimmers commit to raising funds to support clean water. Your $35 registration fee and $300 fundraising minimum ($150 for youth and lifeguards) include shuttle service, parking, food and beverages, a commemorative event t-shirt, event swim cap, and a custom-made finisher’s medal.
