What’s New? Week of August 4, 2013 On Sunday, August 4, New Bedford Whaling NHP staff, volunteers and partners will be marching in the Feast of the Blessed Sacrament Parade. We hope to see you cheer us on as we march by. Thursday, August 8 is AHA! night, and Dancing in the Streets is the theme. Join Ruth and Abby, the national park’s 1850s ladies, in dances from their time. They’ll be doing traditional dances from 6:00-7:00 PM on the lawn of the Seamen’s Bethel, 15 Johnny Cake Hill, downtown New Bedford. This Thursday evening, August 8, enjoy an amazing blend of Norwegian and Irish music with NØÍR, who will perform at 6:30 PM as part of our Thursday evening concerts in the garden. In the event of rain the concert will be held indoors. This event is free. Join us on Friday, August 9, from 10:00 AM-noon: bring your children to Music and Crafts in the park garden. Tom Allen from the Dartmouth Early Learning Center will engage the kids with music and movement. The New Bedford Art Museum’s artMOBILE will offer crafts. Free! Did you know that the park offers walking tours seven days a week, at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm, and that they are free of charge? Call the visitor center at 508-996-4095 for details. Did you know? Commercial fishing is the country’s most dangerous occupation and New England’s waters are often the most dangerous in the country. Join Working Waterfront at the Whaling Museum for an evening devoted to safety at sea. This Thursday, August 8, at 6:45 p.m. watch safety trainers deploy a life raft on the Whaling Museum Plaza and then gather in the theater to hear stories of close calls, watch a survival suit race, and learn about efforts to keep our fishermen safe. Presented by the Working Waterfront Festival and safety trainers Rodney Avila and Ted Williams from Hercules SLR.
