AHA! Fall River asked people to "consider the health of the entire planet and take action in our own communities and city." The event on April 21st featured over 30 events at nine venues in downtown Fall River on a pleasant April 21, 2016 evening. The events are designed to help foster an invigorated arts and culture scene in the City. AHA! Fall River was formed in June 2013 in collaboration with the New Bedford AHA! and the Community Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts. AHA! stands for arts, history and architecture. The organization held its first event on June 21, 2013 and has held eight events since then, including the most recent "Breakfast at Tiffany's". The upcoming program will feature a sunset cruise on the Block Island Ferry and Game Night. The purpose of the organization is to develop collaborative relationships in order to expand and sustain arts and cultural programming in the two cities.  Click here for a seven-minute video of the event.
