New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
Guess what folks? A weekend with some weather cooperation, is in store for us! We’ll be 80 degrees all weekend and the only spot of rain is a possible evening thunderstorm on Sunday. A low of 57 degrees should mean nights that are comfortable to sleep in. So let’s head out and enjoy the many things the South Coast has to do!
As always, click on the title for more or detailed information on the event. Most of the events were pulled from our event calendar where you can find hundreds of local area events each month.
