Viva Fall River

A Walk on the Watuppa

2929 Blossom Road, Fall River, Ma 2929 Blossom Road, Fall River, MA, United States

Fabric Arts Festival is a celebration of art, music, community, and the city of Fall River, Massachusetts. It aims to be a platform for artistic creation through a multidisciplinary program that seeks to create a cultural and communal experience.  Fabric ends with a collective walk on the trails of the Watuppa Reservation in Fall River. This walk will be guided by local experts: Indigenous community members, biologists, chefs, and artists. We learn about the ecosystem we are part of, the dangers it faces, and the preservation efforts we can all contribute to. We conversate and understand the land as something that is not separate from us and learn about the people that always lived on it. We will visit a pollinator garden planted by local artists, Harry and Brittni Gould Harvey, and discuss how art and nature are in many ways, synonymous. A tea will be brewed with ancestral herbs of the land we walk on and sweetened by local honey, this will accompany us keep us warm and connected on our walk.

Matthew Sweet Acoustic Trio

Narrows Center for the Arts 16 Anawan St., Fall River, MA

After spending the ’80s as an up-and-coming jangle pop multi-instrumentalist with acts like Oh-OK, Lloyd Cole, The Golden Palominos, and The Buzz of Delight, Matthew Sweet emerged as the leading figure of the power pop revival with the release of his platinum-selling breakout record Girlfriend in 1991. Sweet adhered to traditional song craft, yet subverted the form by adding noisy post-punk guitar and flourishes of country-rock, resulting in an amalgam of the Beatles, Big Star, R.E.M., and Neil Young. Girlfriend became a word-of-mouth critical and commercial hit with its title track reaching the Top Five on the Modern Rock charts and its anime-styled music videos entering heavy rotation on MTV.
