Fall River sits at the western end of the South Coast Massachusetts Region at the cross roads of Southeastern New England's tourist treasures. Fall River has an active, working waterfront, a wonderful history, and unique residential architecture. Because Fall River is home to one of the largest populations of Azorean Portuguese in North America, the town hosts some of the biggest seasonal and religious festivals and culinary experiences this side of Portugal.
