2026 Summer Evenings

The City of Fall River, the Narrows Center for the Arts, and Bristol County Savings Bank are pleased to
present “Summer Evenings in the Park” – free family-centric events that will feature live music, arts & crafts,
food and fun. The community event will take place every Wednesday night in July and August from 5:30 p.m.
to 8:00 p.m. This event is in its 6th consecutive year hosting 40 events in 14 different parks across the City
The City, the Narrows, and Bristol County Savings Bank have partnered together to bring the arts into the
neighborhoods of the residents of Fall River. “One of the missions of the Narrows is to make the arts
accessible to all in our community. This is an opportunity for the Narrows to bring what we do into the
neighborhoods of Fall River. The arts are a great way to enliven neighborhoods, to bring people together, and
to create a sense of community. We are excited to partner with the City of Fall River on this important project,” states Patrick Norton, Executive Director of the Narrows Center.

“As a community bank we are always looking for ways to work together with the city and local organizations
like the Narrows to help make the neighborhood we serve an even better place to live and work,” says John
Silva, CEO of Bristol County Savings Bank. “Over the years. ‘Summer Evenings in the Park’ has been a great
example of this mission in practice, and it’s been gratifying to see the event continue to grow in popularity
throughout the community.”

Mayor Paul Coogan added “It’s a great Fall River tradition that continues to bring our community together
each year, giving local children and families the opportunity to have fun, connect with one another, and create lasting memories in our city.” Once again, Greater Fall River Recreation will be providing delicious hot dogs and hamburgers at the event.

We will also be partnering with Greater Fall River Food Bank, Citizens for Citizens and Angels Anonymous to provide a bag of groceries for families attending the event.

I had a group of very special visitors today. The OG crew. The Ouellettes... They are descendants of the original owner, his children and grandchildren. They grew up in the diner. They ran the diner. They are the diner.

They are the keepers of the history. They have the stories! One story I love is when Mr. Ouellette, the original owner, would put a sticker on the windshield of cars that were in the lot and weren't parked for the diner. He'd smack em right in the way of the driver so they couldn't see lol. I'm really contemplating keeping this tradition alive lol! Or! He would yell at them over an intercom! I think that's great and totally can picture someone doing it. By the way does anyone have an intercom for sale?!

Did you know there was a second owl location on Second St way back when?! I didn't!

The whole family has been some of my biggest supporters since day one. I think it was my first or second post ever they reached out in support. I've had conversations with them over the months where they shared recipes of the past and ideas for the future. I owe Bruce a nickel for every one of his ideas that I sell. (It could be something cool but we have to work out how to actually make it!)

I wanna do right by their family and honor their families legacy in all of this. If it wasn't for the sacrifices they made as children and adults over the decades they owned the building, all of us wouldn't have the memories of the Owl that we do today and for that I want them to know how much I appreciate them and I'm pretty sure the Flint appreciates them just as much!

Go watch the the games today at kennedy park.

Flint….. Friday is a holiday, no trash pick up!

‼️Please be advised: Trash collection will be delayed by one day in observance of Juneteenth on Friday, June 19th. Trash collection will take place Saturday, June 20th.

After a long day of digging holes we lit up the oven and started seasoning it with the first pies. Of course my father got the first one - he deserves it more than anyone else! His choice was hot honey and pepperoni.
