whaling city festival

New Bedford has had many events canceled for 2021, including some of the biggest, but one of the marquee events, the Whaling City Festival, will be happening.

Mike Sylvia, president of New Bedford's Whaling City Festival, said the festival's board is going to relaunch the Lakeville Haunted House.

The organizers of New Bedford's Whaling City Festival are interested in taking over operations of the Lakeville Haunted House rather than see it demolished.

Organizer Michael Sylvia said he's 'cautiously optimistic' that the event can be held in the fall.

The Whaling City Festival is back and it's bigger and better than ever.

Michael Rock and some listeners share their Whaling City Festival memories.

The Whaling City Festival opens at Buttonwood Park this afternoon at 4 p.m.

"I'm on fire..... FIREBALL!"

The Whaling City Festival takes place July 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th.

Thursday, July 6th marks the official return of the Whaling City Festival!
