Cultural Event Center

For the first time since 2004, we are having a Festival of the Portuguese Philharmonic Bands on October 3rd. This will celebrate the continuation of our traditions and customs. There will be eight philharmonic bands performing in this wonderful event, starting with a parade at 10am on South Main Street in Fall River, Ma. At 12 noon we will begin the concert series indoors at the The Cultural Center. Please join us to celebrate and support this special event. This will become an annual event that will be hosted by a different band each year!

It was an honor to host the Grandes Festas Do Divino Espírito Santo Da Nova Inglaterra and to have Former President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and President of the Regional government of the Azores Jose Manuel Bolieiro, this past weekend.

🚨 Wedding Myth of the Day! 🚨

“My venue has a coordinator, so I don’t need a day-of coordinator.” 👀

We hear this ALL the time… but they’re actually two completely different roles!

Think of it like this:

🏛️ Your Venue Coordinator is there to make sure the venue runs smoothly.

🤍 Your Day-of Coordinator is there to make sure YOU and your wedding run smoothly.

We’re the ones texting your vendors, keeping your timeline on track, lining everyone up before the ceremony, fluffing your dress, bustling it after the ceremony, finding missing boutonnieres, making sure Grandma gets on the shuttle, fixing the seating chart mix-up, grabbing you a drink, and handling the million little things you never even knew happened.

Our goal? That the only thing you have to worry about is marrying your best friend. 💍✨

💬 Tell us—did you know there was a difference? Comment “I didn’t!” if this surprised you!

And if you’re newly engaged and wondering whether a coordinator is right for you, send us a message! We still have a few remaining 2026 dates available and are now booking 2027 weddings throughout Massachusetts & Rhode Island. 🖤
