2026 Summer Evenings
The City of Fall River, the Narrows Center for the Arts, and Bristol County Savings Bank are pleased to
present “Summer Evenings in the Park” – free family-centric events that will feature live music, arts & crafts,
food and fun. The community event will take place every Wednesday night in July and August from 5:30 p.m.
to 8:00 p.m. This event is in its 6th consecutive year hosting 40 events in 14 different parks across the City
The City, the Narrows, and Bristol County Savings Bank have partnered together to bring the arts into the
neighborhoods of the residents of Fall River. “One of the missions of the Narrows is to make the arts
accessible to all in our community. This is an opportunity for the Narrows to bring what we do into the
neighborhoods of Fall River. The arts are a great way to enliven neighborhoods, to bring people together, and
to create a sense of community. We are excited to partner with the City of Fall River on this important project,” states Patrick Norton, Executive Director of the Narrows Center.
“As a community bank we are always looking for ways to work together with the city and local organizations
like the Narrows to help make the neighborhood we serve an even better place to live and work,” says John
Silva, CEO of Bristol County Savings Bank. “Over the years. ‘Summer Evenings in the Park’ has been a great
example of this mission in practice, and it’s been gratifying to see the event continue to grow in popularity
throughout the community.”
Mayor Paul Coogan added “It’s a great Fall River tradition that continues to bring our community together
each year, giving local children and families the opportunity to have fun, connect with one another, and create lasting memories in our city.” Once again, Greater Fall River Recreation will be providing delicious hot dogs and hamburgers at the event.
We will also be partnering with Greater Fall River Food Bank, Citizens for Citizens and Angels Anonymous to provide a bag of groceries for families attending the event.
