What is Viva Fall River?

Viva Fall River is a tourism initiative that aims to showcase the best of the city. The nonprofit organization offers information on the city’s rich history and proudly hosts events throughout the year to bring the people of Fall River together.

Last year, Viva Fall River brought together local businesses to hand out candy to lively trick-or-treaters with the Spooky Stroll, attracting over 100 strollers for some spooky fun.

"Last year was wonderful, it was a really great event," said Kristy DeVinney, the organizer of the event through Viva Fall River. "I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone's costumes this year, the kids have such a good time with it, it's so exciting."

This year, the organization is aiming to make this special event even better.
