Sunday Funday in Downtown Westerly
Sunday Funday in Downtown Westerly transforms High Street into a walkable outdoor festival filled with shopping, dining, cocktails, lawn games, and family activities as the heart of Westerly shifts into full summer mode. Hosted across several Sundays in June, the event closes downtown streets to vehicle traffic and opens them instead to outdoor tables, artist booths, vendors, mini golf, and the kind of relaxed street-life atmosphere that coastal New England towns seem built for once warm weather arrives. Restaurants and local businesses spill out onto the sidewalks and street itself, creating an experience that feels part block party, part shopping district, and part outdoor dining scene.
The appeal of Sunday Funday is less about any single attraction and more about the atmosphere created when downtown Westerly slows down and becomes fully pedestrian-focused for the afternoon. Visitors can wander between boutiques, restaurants, cocktail spots, vendor booths, and games without constantly navigating traffic, making the area feel unusually open and social. Families can stop by the kids’ Creation Station running from 1 to 5 p.m., while others may spend the afternoon moving casually between lunch, drinks, shopping, and outdoor entertainment as live performances take shape throughout the day.
Sunday Funday in Downtown Westerly takes place June 7, 14, and 21 from noon to 6 p.m. along High Street in downtown Westerly and is free to attend. Organizers encourage visitors to support local businesses as restaurants, shops, and vendors bring their offerings directly into the street for the event. With outdoor dining, mini golf, lawn games, and a full afternoon of pedestrian-friendly energy, the series has become one of the shoreline’s more relaxed and community-focused summer traditions.
