Padanaram Fest

A cherished summertime tradition returns in Padanaram Village on Saturday, July 26, as the Padanaram Summer Festival looks to bring a full day of fun to the historic harborfront from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Each year, local businesses get in on the fun, setting up sidewalk sales, free giveaways and pop-up treats to help draw shoppers in. Some highlights this year include free snow cones and cornhole at Anne Whiting Real Estate, balloon creations at EF Cost Recovery and a mini lobster roll station outside the Sail Loft.

The Kids Zone, open from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the top of Elm Street near Gibson Sotheby’s, is also returning this year.

Vineyard Vibes

Christmas is coming to town a bit early this year and it's bringing an array of goods, live music and free activities and games to Running Brook Vineyard & Winery over the July 26 and 27 weekend. 

Hosted from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. each day, Seth Viveiros and the Vineyard welcomes the community to join in on “Vineyard Vibes Christmas and July” — a weekend of fun for family and friends.

Don’t miss the opportunity to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and design an ornament.

The Vineyard, located at 335 Old Fall River Road, will be packed with vendors for jewelry, photography, handmade goods, baked goods and there will also be food trucks with lots to do.
