Summary
A chaotic stabbing at the Whaling City Festival in New Bedford sent shockwaves through the community—three people injured in a violent brawl near Buttonwood Park after hours of festivities.

Once a beloved family-friendly tradition since 1970, the festival now faces an uncertain end to its weekend, marred by violence and worry.
