All are welcome to the most fantastic birthday bash of the year! On Thursday, September 12, 2024, AHA@25 welcomes all ages to the streets of New Bedford to celebrate its 25th anniversary as AHA! celebrates its history and looks to the future of AHA! New Bedford. There will be a few surprises in addition to dancing in the streets, live music, a 90s-costume parade, kids activities, a pub crawl, circus arts, and, of course, birthday cake for the hundreds of participants.
On September 12, the block party festivities will kick off at 4 p.m. and take place in three main “activity zones” within the historic Seaport Cultural District: the New Bedford Whaling Museum plaza and parking lot, the Fiber Optic Center’s loading dock on Centre Street, and front and lower Union Street overlooking the waterfront.
The public is encouraged to attend AHA! Night in their most creative 1999-inspired attire. Those wanting to join the parade and catwalk should register at the AHA! table at the Whaling Museum Plaza or Union Street location before 6 p.m.
