The Greater New Bedford Summerfest

New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park
New Bedford, Massachusetts

The Greater New Bedford Summerfest brings together over 70 renowned and emerging performers and 90 juried arts and crafts vendors in New Bedford's authentic historic district during the first weekend in July.

The two day family-oriented festival offers continuous folk music from 11am to 9pm on seven sound stages throughout the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park ranging from the 1200 seat "Custom House Stage" to the intimacy of the 55 seat "Meet the Performer" area. In addition to the weekend music we usually have a Friday Night Kick-Off Concert as well (check out the line up from 2010's Celebrate 15 Years of Summerfest Friday Night Concert!)

The Artisans' Marketplace showcases the handcrafted work of many local artists as well as crafters from Maine to California. The Fine Arts Area features an eclectic mix of artwork including paintings, photography, jewelry, furniture, and musical instruments, and the International Bazaar offers high-quality, imported handcrafts from around the globe.

Hosted by the City of New Bedford and The Standard-Times, the Greater New Bedford Summerfest offers an exciting atmosphere with great music, beautiful arts and crafts and fun activities for the whole family.
