Your Weekend & the week ahead…
Will you be here in 5 years?
SATURDAY, MAY 27 – Sure – it’s a holiday weekend.

Memorial Day Parade
MONDAY, MAY 29 – New Bedford’s Memorial Day Parade steps off from Hathaway Blvd. and Parker St. this morning at 11:30am. But the place to watch it is Clasky Common Park on County Street by J.A. Parker School where special events honoring veterans follow the parade.
Climate Change & Lyme Disease
THURSDAY, JUNE 1 – “Have you ever wondered how the rate of chronic illnesses such as Lyme disease has grown exponentially as the effects of climate change increase?” If you have or haven’t, you still may want to check out Lyme Disease & Climate Change, with Herbalist Brendan Kelly tonight from 5:30-8:00pm at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, presented by Kelly and the Marion Institute. “Using the lens of Chinese medicine, Brendan Kelly, herbalist and author of The Yin and Yang of Climate Crisis, will discuss how the warming of our planet mirrors a similar overheating within us and within our culture.” Tickets are $10, and they benefit the Marion Institute. Get some here.
