Don't miss Festival Favorite, Ana Vinagre! In concert this Thursday at 7pm FREE ADMISSION!

Join us for a free concert by Ana Vinagre on June 28th at 7pm THIS Thursday!

Ana Vinagre is one of the area’s best known, and most respected Fadistas. Born in Portugal, she immigrated to New Bedford as a young woman with her husband Jose. Both had been members of folkloric dance and music ensembles and they have continued to perform at area Portuguese restaurants, community events, and in festivals and concerts around the nation. They take great pride in their culture and enjoy teaching American audiences about the tradition of Fado music, a genre that developed in the port city of Lisbon and was performed at waterfront clubs and bars frequented by sailors and seamen.

Free admission! This concert is part of the Center's celebration of the Portuguese heritage of our fishing fleet.
