Fall River, known historically as the “Spindle City,” sits along the Taunton River at the edge of Mount Hope Bay. Once a powerhouse of the textile industry, today it’s a city with around 94,000 residents, rich in industrial heritage, Portuguese culture, and storied history, from Lizzie Borden lore to its iconic Battleship Cove, which hosts the world’s most extensive collection of WWII naval vessels.

Life here offers a vibrant, waterfront experience in New England. The Portuguese community is particularly strong, bringing cultural depth through spirited dining scenes, marketplaces like Portugalia, and seasonal festivals celebrated with food, music, and tradition.
