Battle of Fall River Reenactment Weekend – May 31-June 1, 2025
Presented by the Lafayette-Durfee Historical Foundation in partnership with The City of Fall River, Viva Fall River, and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR), this commemoration of the 245th Battle of Fall River (nee Freetown) was hosted at DCR Fall River Heritage State Park. This event was made possible in part by funding from the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism, the Mass Cultural Council, the Fall River Cultural Council, and St. Anne’s Credit Union.
The Battle of Fall River Reenactment Weekend was honored to be part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ MA250, a statewide initiative commemorating the 250th anniversary of pivotal events leading up to the American Revolution. MA250 celebrates Massachusetts’ rich history and its role in the fight for independence. The program spans from 2025 through 2033, marking key milestones from the colonial resistance to the adoption of the U.S. Constitution. Through events, educational programs, and community engagement, MA250 aims to inspire reflection on the past while encouraging conversations about democracy, freedom, and civic responsibility today.
