The Puzzles Attack: 20 Years Later

On February 1, 2006, the Puzzles Lounge in New Bedford was the site of a violent attack that forever changed lives in our community. Twenty years later, we come together to honor those impacted, uplift the resilience of our LGBTQ+ community, and recommit ourselves to a future rooted in safety, dignity, and love.

This vigil is a moment of remembrance, reflection, and unity. It is also a reminder that visibility matters, community matters, and standing together matters.

Immediately following the vigil, a reception will be held at First Unitarian Church, 71 Eighth St. New Bedford, MA.
