New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
Make your earth day statement and experience the fun! Join us in downtown New Bedford on April 12th for the AHA! Night Sustainable SouthCoast where we will celebrate Earth Day and have a parade with eco-floats! An eco-float is anything that a person or group can wear, roll or carry along the procession route. The only requirements are that your eco-float must not use fossil fuel; it must honor the Earth and be mindful of the 3R’s – reduce, reuse and recycle. Marchers will move their eco-float creations along the procession route using a variety of power modes lead by Mother Earth and Father Ocean 2012 and the New Bedford High School band.
The Eco-float procession gathers at 5 pm at Custom House Square (corner of William Street and Acushnet Avenue in downtown New Bedford) for the crowning of Mother Earth and Father Ocean. Mother Earth and Father Ocean will then lead the procession through the downtown historic district, along Williams and Water St. up Union and across on Pleasant Street. The procession will then return to Custom House Square with a pizza party for all participants! Please be aware that the procession passes over cobblestone streets and takes place rain or shine!
