Memorial Day weekend is a time to honor those who have sacrificed for our country. But for many, it also marks the start of summer (unofficially). Memorial Day weekend is a great time to spend time with friends and also enjoy doing fun stuff outside, like events, hiking and lunch.
If you’re in Fall River, MA, there’re a lot of activities to choose from. Many restaurants and bars arrange events and specials, and you can even see the Memorial Day Ceremony and (hopefully) enjoy nice weather.
Things to do Memorial Day weekend in Fall River MA
Fall River in Massachusetts is a cool little town that offers a ton of activities for Memorial Day weekend. And why not other days too. On Memorial Day weekend, there is something to do for everyone.
If you’re a fan of history, a visit to Battleship Cove is a must. You’ll get to see historic naval vessels like the USS Massachusetts, and can even board and tour the vessels. Pretty cool, right? This is a fun experience for anyone who’s interested in ships. It’s also an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by military personnel.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for some outdoor fun, Freetown-Fall River State Forest offers miles of trails. You can walk through woodlands, ponds, and streams and take in the fresh air. It’s a perfect location for a Memorial Day hike or a relaxing outdoor lunch.
Also, the Fall River waterfront is a great place for enjoying the weather. You can walk along the waterfront, visit the local restaurants, or just relax on a bench and watch the boats. Take some snacks with you, and you’ll have a nice time.
You should also know that Fall River is home to several museums and cultural institutions. These include the Fall River Historical Society and the Lizzie Borden Museum. The latter also offer ghost tours (maybe not on Memorial Day weekend, but check back later).
