The sixth AHA! Fall River event took place on a rainy but warm night on December 17, 2015, this time with the theme of "Classic Holiday Creativity." More than fifty events and activities were held at fifteen locations in downtown Fall River offering crafts, music and exhibits with a holiday theme. "We're here tonight with AHA! -- art, history and architecture -- celebrating Christmas and the Holidays with kids around the area doing ornaments, seeing Santa, having fun, and listening to great music," commented Maria Vann, Museum Director of the Marine Museum of Fall River. The atrium of Government Center was filled with families visiting the various booths and sampling some of the holiday food. Likewise, the Cherry and Webb Art Gallery was filled with music and crafts as well as a live Santa Clause who looked like he came off of a painting. Other venues included Angelo's Piano Bar, the Fall River Cultural Center, Tap House, Cav's Restaurant, the Raw Martini Bar, People Incorporated, Norcon Mortgage, Dunny's, the Fall River Public Library, the Fall River Children's Museum, Tequila Lime Cantina, the Lafayette Durfee House and First Congregational Church.
