2024-25 Falmouth Forum
For more than 30 years, the Falmouth Forum, presented by the Friends of the MBL, has brought free cultural enrichment to our community. This season will feature captivating speakers that will deliver powerful talks with a wide range of subjects.
Lectures are free and open to the public for in-person and virtual attendance. Free parking is available in any MBL lot. No registration required for in-person attendance.
Doors open at 7:00 PM, lectures start at 7:30 PM, unless noted otherwise below.
The Falmouth Forum is supported by the Falmouth Forum Endowment, the Bakalar Endowed Director's Discretionary Fund, and The Woods Hole Foundation.
An optional buffet dinner precedes most of the Falmouth Forum lectures. Dinner tickets are available until they sell out or one week prior to each event.
