AHA! Night: Project Planet is this Thursday, 4/9. Here are the details about our annual parade and the new pop-up celebration in Custom House Square! Many thanks to Domino’s Team New Bedford for sponsoring this month’s event.
Project Planet Procession
This year, the annual Project Planet procession will begin and end at Custom House Square after the ceremonial crowning of this year’s Planet Protectors. Hip hop artist T’em Blessed returns to host the proceedings.
The SouthCoast Brass Band will help lead the parade, along with AHA!’s jellyfish puppets, and CW (Buzzard Bay Coalition’s mascot). You’ll also see Buttonwood Park Zoo’s electric golf cart, a performance from Discover Language Academy’s Folklore Group, a 12’ boat from Community Boating, and signs and creations made from recycled materials!
Parade Route
Enjoy the Project Planet Procession from anywhere along the route. The parade begins on Acushnet Ave at Custom House Square around 5:15 pm and makes a square, taking a right on Union St., a right on Pleasant St., a right on William St., and a final right on Acushnet, finishing where it began in Custom House Square for closing remarks.
Project Planet Celebration in Custom House Square
Visit Custom House Square from 5-7 pm, where over twenty tables will be set up by local artists and organizations with interactive activities focused on protecting our planet. Play a variety of sorting games to learn what goes in compost bins and what can be recycled, learn mending skills, paint with ink made from local plants, build birdhouses, and so much more. Plus, the Sorbae Frozen Treats truck will be on hand for some tasty pops inspired by flavors from around the world.
