June is PRIDE MONTH which means it’s time for AHA! Pride on Thursday, June 12th. That’s when you can enjoy the 7th Annual Pride Block Party in collaboration with the Queer Arts Council of New Bedford.

The block party begins at 5:00 pm and is located at the Steeple Playhouse and Upper William St. between 6th and 8th Streets.
In addition, businesses and organizations across downtown will host musical performances, art exhibits, demonstrations, conversations, tours, kids karaoke, open mic poetry and so much more. Some activities begin as early as 2pm!

Activities are being added to our schedule. Current details are available at https://ahanewbedford.org/next-aha/
Thank you to EVERSOURCE, this month’s sponsor, for helping make this free arts and cultural event possible.
