## Resource

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. Despite being just outside the main grounds, the incident forced organizers to shut down the final day an hour early and ramp up police presence, as they vowed to prioritize safety. Once a beloved family-friendly tradition since 1970, the festival now faces an uncertain end to its weekend, marred by violence and worry.
