Fall River’s Fourth of July Waterfront Celebrations

FALL RIVER (WBSM) — Independence Day is right around the corner, meaning a day of celebration is upon us.

People from all over will gather to celebrate a holiday of freedom and pride, decked out in their best red, white and blue attire. Usually this means cookouts, a beach trip if the weather permits, and of course an incredible fireworks display.

If you live in Fall River or a nearby SouthCoast town, the city has announced its Fourth of July schedule taking place at multiple locations on the waterfront.
