New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
Outside of “a shower” on Saturday, we will have a dry weekend with pleasant temperatures. As Halloween approaches the mornings can evening eventually start to get brisk, even cold. However, that has not arrived yet. We’ll hover around a low of 60 degrees in the mornings with day time termperatures averaging about 70 degrees. Who knows how many more weekends we’ll have left with weather like this, so you’d better hit the road and enjoy the many going-ons around the South Coast and beyond!
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. The event calendar is FREE, so if you are a local business, and not taking advantage of FREE publicity, shame on you! Are you a local business and want to sponsor this high traffic, weekend guide?
