"Jump Up On The Waterfront"

Friday, 07/23/2010 – 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM

To sample the best food and drink the area has to offer, your best bet may be to “jump” on down to the waterfront.  The Fall River Chamber of Commerce and dozens of area businesses will make the Carousel and waterfront their home for one evening.

New this year is the Carousel location. All the glass doors on the first floor will be open, allowing patrons to enjoy the lovely scenery of the waterfront, and a tent will be set up over the patio. And the Carousel itself will be open for rides from 6 to 7 p.m. — sure to appeal to the kid in all of us.

Landry said Yankee Spirits of Swansea is the new beverage sponsor this year, and she said, as in past years, a wide variety of food vendors will present some of their signature dishes.  Participants include Patti’s Pierogis, LePage’s, Popeye’s Chicken & Biscuits, Mesa 21, Fall River Grill, Minervas II, Venus de Milo and Lafrance Hospitality.

The event features music from DJ Don Hunt, as well as an open bar. Tickets are $50 per person and can be obtained by calling the Chamber at 508-676-8226.

Food or beverage vendors who are interested in participating in Jump Up on the Waterfront, call the Chamber or call Lori Landry at 508-676-5777.
