The City of New Bedford is working hard to become a major cultural community in Massachusetts. All can agree, whether it's performing arts, waterfront festivals, visual arts, and special events, New Bedford is certainly making its mark. City officials are making public their "Cultural Plan" this week, and the consultant that helped put together the plan, Margo Saulnier visits Townsquare Sunday this week to discuss some of the highlights.

Townsquare Sunday with Jim Phillips can be heard each Sunday at 6 a.m. on WBSM 1420 and WBSM.com. Townsquare Sunday is a weekly public affairs program highlighting non-profits and community organizations in the Greater New Bedford area.

If you have a public event, festival, or neighborhood activity you want to publicize, submit your information here. You can also send an e-mail to Jim Phillips at jim.phillips@townsquaremedia.com. This program can also be heard by downloading the WBSM app.
