SUMMARY:Stonington Village Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Stonington Village Farmers Market has become one of the defining Saturday morning traditions along the Connecticut shoreline\, bringing together local farms\, food vendors\, artisans\, musicians\, and neighbors inside and outside the historic Velvet Mill. Running year-round since becoming a permanent seasonal fixture in 2008\, the market transforms with the seasons\, moving outdoors during the warmer months and indoors during late fall and winter while continuing to serve as a gathering place for the community. \nThe market offers far more than produce stands. Visitors can browse locally grown vegetables and fruits\, cheeses\, baked goods\, meats\, seafood\, maple syrup\, flowers\, mushrooms\, prepared foods\, and handmade crafts while live music plays in the background. The atmosphere feels distinctly coastal New England\, blending small-town community energy with the creativity and food culture that defines Stonington Village. Families\, dog owners\, and longtime locals mingle throughout the morning while vendors showcase everything from handmade soaps and pottery to organic kombucha and Mediterranean cuisine. \nWhat makes the Stonington Village Farmers Market stand out is how deeply connected it feels to the rhythm of the region itself. Some visitors arrive early for greenhouse spinach or fresh seafood before it sells out\, while others come simply to wander with coffee in hand and reconnect with neighbors. Between the local farmers\, prepared food vendors\, musicians\, and rotating artisan booths\, the market has evolved into more than a shopping destination. It has become a weekly community ritual that reflects the character\, creativity\, and agricultural roots of southeastern Connecticut. \nParticipating Vendors & Farms \n\nAPIS VERDI\nBroad Brook Acres\nDavis Farm\nISSA Catering\nJon Fish\nSeacoast Mushrooms\nSugar Maple Farms\nSweet Acre Farm\nWakin’ Up Waggin’\n18th Century Purity Farm\nStonyledge Farm and Studio Farm Products\nSummer Hill Catering\nCato Corner Farm\nTreatzles\nFiber + Mud\nYALLA\n\nSponsors & Organizers \n\nStonington Village Improvement Association (SVIA)\nVelvet Mill\n\n

SUMMARY:Brickwrecks: Sunken Ships in LEGO Bricks
DESCRIPTION:Brickwrecks: Sunken Ships in LEGO Bricks drops visitors into centuries of maritime mystery and disaster at Mystic Seaport Museum.. The internationally touring exhibition combines massive LEGO® ship recreations with real maritime history\, creating an experience that feels part museum exhibit\, part interactive adventure. As the first American stop for the exhibition\, Mystic Seaport becomes the latest host for a showcase that has previously appeared at major maritime museums in Europe and Australia. \nThe exhibit features eleven detailed LEGO® models recreating famous shipwrecks and maritime disasters spanning thousands of years\, including the Titanic\, the Vasa\, Franklin’s Arctic expedition ships Terror and Erebus\, and the ancient Uluburun trading vessel. Created in partnership with LEGO® Certified Professional Ryan “The Brickman” McNaught\, the displays combine historical storytelling with surprisingly intricate engineering and visual detail. Some models even include cross-section cutaways revealing what happened beneath the waterline. \nInteractive experiences throughout the exhibit invite visitors to test survival scenarios\, operate a remote underwater vehicle\, experiment with ship stability\, and build LEGO® creations of their own. Alongside the models are replica artifacts\, archaeological tools\, and multimedia displays exploring how modern researchers investigate shipwrecks and what those discoveries reveal about trade\, exploration\, disaster\, and human history. The result is an exhibit that works equally well for families\, history buffs\, LEGO® fans\, and anyone who still secretly wants to touch every museum display. \n

SUMMARY:Adam Carolla Presented by COMIX
DESCRIPTION:If you like your comedy sharp\, unfiltered\, and a little unpredictable\, Adam Carolla brings exactly that to the stage. Known for saying the quiet part out loud… and then pushing it a little further… he’s built a career on blunt takes\, quick pivots\, and stories that feel like they’re one step away from going completely off the rails. It’s not polished in a traditional sense\, and that’s kind of the point. You’re there for the perspective\, the rhythm\, and the way he turns everyday annoyances into something you didn’t realize was funny until he says it. \nA lot of people first connected with him through radio and television\, from *Loveline* to The Man Show\, but it’s his long-running podcast that really cemented his voice. The Adam Carolla Show has become one of the most downloaded podcasts out there\, built on the same mix of opinions\, interviews\, and off-the-cuff humor that drives his live shows. That background carries over on stage… it feels conversational\, like you’re sitting in on something rather than just watching it. \nLive\, that energy hits differently. No two shows are the same\, and there’s always the sense that things could shift at any moment depending on the crowd or where the story goes. It’s fast\, a little chaotic in a good way\, and very much in his voice from start to finish. If you’re into comedy that leans more raw than rehearsed\, this is one of those nights where you just settle in and see where it goes.

SUMMARY:Westerly-Pawcatuck River Glow 2026
DESCRIPTION:Westerly-Pawcatuck River Glow transforms downtown into a nighttime spectacle centered around glowing bonfires floating on the Pawcatuck River. Beginning at Donahue Park\, the event builds from a daytime gathering into an evening experience where firelight reflects across the water and draws crowds along both sides of the river. It’s become a signature summer tradition\, blending visual atmosphere with a full lineup of activities. \nThroughout the area\, visitors can explore food vendors\, local artisans\, and family-friendly attractions that keep the festival active well before sunset. As the day transitions into night\, live music takes over with performances including Alter Ego and steel drumming that adds a distinct\, rhythmic energy to the setting. The mix of music and open-air space creates a steady flow of activity across downtown streets and along the waterfront. \nEntertainment extends beyond the stage with fire jugglers\, circus-style acts\, and belly dancing performances that bring movement and visual energy to the event. The combination of firelight\, music\, and performance creates a layered experience that shifts throughout the evening. With a rain date scheduled for Sunday\, the Westerly-Pawcatuck River Glow offers a reliable and visually striking way to experience a summer night in the region.

SUMMARY:Bob Marley Comedian
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever spent time in New England\, you’ve probably heard the name Bob Marley… and no\, not that Bob Marley. This one’s a Maine-based comic with a fast\, slightly chaotic delivery that feels like someone talking a mile a minute at a kitchen table\, except every line lands. His current run of shows keeps that same energy\, bouncing between theaters\, casinos\, and smaller venues where the crowd is close enough to feel like part of the act. \nHis material leans heavily into everyday life… family\, marriage\, getting older\, the small frustrations that somehow turn into full-blown stories. A lot of it comes from his own life\, and that’s what makes it hit. It doesn’t feel written traditionally… it feels remembered\, exaggerated\, and then pushed just far enough to get the laugh. He’ll jump from one idea to the next quickly\, but there’s always a thread holding it together\, even when it feels like it might spin off the rails. \nLive\, it’s all about momentum. Once he gets going\, the laughs stack fast\, and the crowd tends to stay right with him. There’s a looseness to it that makes every show feel a little different\, depending on the room and how people react. If you’re into comedy that’s high-energy\, rooted in real life\, and delivered with that unmistakable New England edge\, his tour is one of those nights that’s easy to drop into and just enjoy.
