And you heard it here first -- the next time they’re in town playing at The Narrows we’re taking them on a tour of Fall River! Drop some suggestions in the comments for where we should take them!

🐐🌱 Help a Fall River family grow a farm for the community!

You may have not have heard about DT Empire A Family Farm, a family-owned working farm right here in Fall River, but the Torres family has been welcoming children, families, students, residential programs, and visitors with disabilities to experience animals, agriculture, nature, and farm life firsthand.

Now, they’re asking for the community’s help as they work to make the farm safer, more accessible, and ready to welcome even more visitors.

They’ve launched a GoFundMe with a $50,000 goal to support improvements including accessible restroom facilities, better pathways and visitor areas, fencing and animal enclosures, barns and shelters, property cleanup, and improvements to spaces used for educational and community programs.

Every contribution helps, but you can also support their efforts simply by sharing their story and helping spread the word.

🎭 Don’t miss the final show of Little Theatre of Fall River's 2025–2026 season: ART!

World-class theater, right here in Fall River. If you haven’t seen a show at the iconic Firebarn on Prospect Street, now’s your chance!

Yasmina Reza’s Tony Award-winning comedy brings together one painting, three longtime friends, and a friendship put hilariously to the test. It’s smart, funny, and a great excuse for a night out.

Make a night of it. Grab dinner or drinks downtown, head to the Firebarn for the show, and keep the night going afterward. Just maybe don’t use the evening to finally tell your friends everything you’ve been holding back. 😂

ONE PAINTING. THREE FRIENDS. TOTAL CHAOS.
Here's a fun idea. Grab a friend or two, buy tickets to 'ART' at Little Theatre, get a bite to eat before the show, see the show, maybe go out afterwards. Oh and for fun, at the least opportune point of the night bring up that thing that you've always wanted to say, but never said. Roll the dice and see if your friendship handles a test! Okay, okay! Maybe wait until after the show, but get your tickets!
