SUMMARY:Trivia & Taco Tuesday with DJ Trivia RI at Surf Cantina
DESCRIPTION:Trivia & Taco Tuesday with DJ Trivia RI at Surf Cantina turns Tuesday nights in downtown Westerly into a mix of tacos\, drinks\, and friendly competition. With $3 tacos running from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and trivia kicking off at 7 p.m.\, the weekly event blends casual dinner plans with the kind of lively group atmosphere that keeps tables talking\, laughing\, and debating answers long after the first round begins. \nTrivia & Taco Tuesday with DJ Trivia RI brings a more energetic spin to the usual trivia-night format thanks to DJ Trivia’s fast-moving style and crowd interaction. Teams gather around baskets of tacos and drinks while competing through rounds that can shift from pop culture and music to sports\, movies\, and random knowledge. The setup works especially well inside Surf Cantina’s coastal-inspired atmosphere\, where the laid-back vibe keeps the night social even for people who are mostly there for the tacos and margaritas. \nTuesday nights in Westerly tend to feel quieter before the summer weekend crowds fully arrive\, which gives events like this a strong locals-night feel. Surf Cantina’s Canal Street location adds to that energy\, drawing groups of friends\, coworkers\, and trivia regulars looking for an easy midweek outing that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Between the taco specials\, upbeat trivia atmosphere\, and downtown setting\, the night offers a fun excuse to break up the workweek without overcomplicating it. \n

SUMMARY:Taco Tuesday at Milestone Mystic
DESCRIPTION:Taco Tuesday at Milestone Mystic  brings weekly margaritas\, rotatng taco specials\, and waterfront-night-out energy to downtown Mystic every Tuesday starting at 5 p.m. Sitting right along Water Street\, Milestone already carries the kind of lively coastal atmosphere that feels made for warm-weather evenings\, and Taco Tuesday adds an easy excuse to settle in with friends after work or stretch dinner into a full night out. \nTaco Tuesday at Milestone keeps the menu fresh by rotating taco selections each week\, giving regulars something new to look forward to beyond the usual specials. Guests can grab three tacos for $18 while pairing them with $10 margaritas and sangrias or $5 Modelos and Coronas. The combination leans casual and social rather than overcomplicated\, creating the kind of weekly gathering spot where people linger over drinks\, split appetizers\, and watch the evening crowd build as the night goes on. \nThe location itself adds a lot to the experience. Water Street tends to come alive in the evenings during the warmer months\, with visitors moving between restaurants\, bars\, and the nearby waterfront while Mystic’s downtown energy shifts from daytime tourism to nightlife. Taco Tuesday fits naturally into that rhythm\, offering an affordable midweek outing with enough variety to keep locals and visitors coming back throughout the summer season. \n

SUMMARY:The Australian Pink Floyd Show
DESCRIPTION:at the Mohegan Sun Arena \nThe Australian Pink Floyd Show is widely considered one of the most successful and authentic tribute acts dedicated to the music of Pink Floyd. Formed in 1988 in Adelaide\, Australia\, the group has spent decades refining a live experience that closely recreates the sound\, feel\, and масштаб of Pink Floyd’s legendary tours. Over time\, they’ve grown from small club performances into a global touring production\, selling millions of tickets and performing in more than 30 countries. ([Wikipedia][1]) \nWhat sets the Australian Pink Floyd Show apart is its focus on delivering a full visual and musical spectacle\, not just the songs themselves. Their performances incorporate detailed lighting\, lasers\, inflatables\, and large-scale video screens inspired by Pink Floyd’s original stage design\, aiming for a near note-for-note recreation of iconic albums and live moments. The result is a concert experience that mirrors the immersive\, atmospheric style that defined Pink Floyd’s rise as one of rock’s most influential bands. \nWith more than 35 years of touring history\, the band continues to draw large audiences across generations\, appealing to longtime fans and newer listeners alike. Their shows typically feature a mix of greatest hits and deeper cuts\, creating a setlist that reflects the breadth of Pink Floyd’s catalog. As one of the few tribute acts to successfully transition into large-scale international touring\, they remain a benchmark for how faithfully and effectively a band’s legacy can be brought to life on stage.

SUMMARY:Frosty Drew Observatory and Science Center's Stargazing Nights
DESCRIPTION:Frosty Drew Observatory and Science Center’s Stargazing Nights turn a quiet Friday evening in Ninigret Park into one of the most atmospheric experiences in southern New England. Hosted by Frosty Drew Observatory & Science Center\, the weekly gathering invites visitors to explore the night sky through powerful telescopes while astronomers guide guests across planets\, star clusters\, distant galaxies\, and the glowing band of the Milky Way overhead. Under some of the darkest skies in Rhode Island\, the experience feels less like a formal science program and more like stumbling into a community of people quietly obsessed with the universe. \nAs darkness settles over Ninigret Park\, visitors can expect views that change depending on the season and sky conditions\, often including Saturn’s rings\, Jupiter’s moons\, the cratered surface of the Moon\, and deep space objects rarely visible in brighter suburban areas. The observatory’s Sky Theatre and telescope stations create an immersive environment where curious first-timers mingle with amateur astronomers and longtime stargazers. There’s something strangely calming about standing in near silence while strangers take turns peering into the cosmos\, especially on clear summer nights when the Milky Way stretches visibly across the sky. \nThe observatory typically opens around 8:30 p.m. on Friday nights and remains active through at least 10:30 p.m.\, sometimes later depending on weather and viewing conditions. Because the event is weather dependent\, updates are posted on the day of the event before 3 p.m. Organizers also note that Ninigret Park’s dark sky rules prohibit white light use after dusk in order to protect night vision and sensitive astronomical equipment\, giving the entire area an almost surreal glow of dim red lights and shadowy pathways. Tickets for Frosty Drew Observatory and Science Center’s Stargazing Nights can be purchased by clicking the event link below. \nWhen ticket sales open\, a link to purchase / acquire tickets will be added to the “Cost” field on the event page. Once event capacity is reached\, these fields will be listed as “Sold Out“\, and we will be unable to allow entry to any more guests. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• Guests should avoid using white flashlights\, phone flashlights\, or bright screens after dusk\n• Red light flashlights are encouraged to preserve night vision\n• Bug spray is highly recommended during warmer months due to mosquitoes and insects near the wildlife refuge\n• Weather conditions may affect visibility or event operations\n• Children ages 5 and older require tickets\n• Arriving early is recommended for the best viewing opportunities and parking access \n

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:Dance Saturday at THE MISFIT CLUB
DESCRIPTION:Dance Saturday at THE MISFIT CLUB brings late-night dance energy to downtown Mystic every Saturday with DJs\, theme nights\, and a growing nightlife crowd looking for something a little louder after dinner hours wind down around town. Doors open early in the evening before the dance floor fully shifts into party mode at 7:30 p.m.\, with modern dance music and big-city club energy taking over the space for the rest of the night. \nWhile Mystic is often associated with quieter waterfront evenings and laid-back coastal bars\, spots like THE MISFIT CLUB are helping carve out a younger nightlife scene built around DJs\, dancing\, themed parties\, and late-night social crowds. The venue leans into a more playful and high-energy atmosphere than many traditional shoreline spots\, with rotating themes like “Pink Underground” adding an extra layer of unpredictability from week to week. \nFor anyone looking to trade vineyard sunsets and seafood dinners for flashing lights\, dance music\, and a packed floor later in the evening\, Dance Saturday offers one of the more nightlife-focused experiences happening around southeastern Connecticut right now. Organizers encourage guests to follow the club’s Instagram page for updates on upcoming themes\, music\, and special event nights. \n

SUMMARY:ZZ Top with special guest George Thorogood & The Destroyers
DESCRIPTION:If you’re looking for a night that feels like straight-up American rock history hitting the stage at full volume\, this tour delivers it. ZZ Top are out on their ongoing *The Big One!* Tour\, stretching across the U.S. with dates running through late summer and into the fall\, bringing that unmistakable Texas blues-rock sound to arenas and amphitheaters everywhere. ([Pollstar News][1]) The trio’s groove is instantly recognizable… thick guitar tone\, driving rhythms\, and that laid-back swagger that somehow still feels effortless after decades. \nSharing the bill\, George Thorogood & The Destroyers bring a raw\, boogie-blues energy that pairs perfectly with ZZ Top’s style. Their sets are built on hard-driving riffs and crowd-ready staples like “Bad to the Bone\,” the kind of songs that don’t just play… they hit. ([georgethorogoodtour.us][2]) When these two acts come together\, it turns into more than just a concert… it feels like a double-shot of classic rock\, where every song lands with familiarity and force. \nThe tour itself has been expanding with additional dates\, including stops across the country and select shows where both bands share the stage\, like their scheduled appearance together in Uncasville\, Connecticut\, this September. ([Ultimate Classic Rock][3]) Live\, it’s all about the feel… big sound\, no frills\, just guitars\, rhythm\, and a crowd that knows exactly why they showed up. If you’re chasing that old-school rock experience… loud\, loose\, and unapologetically real… this is one of those nights that delivers exactly what you came for.

SUMMARY:Thursdays Aboard ARGIA: Sea Music with Geoff Kaufman
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays Aboard ARGIA: Sea Music with Geoff Kaufman brings traditional sea music and maritime storytelling onto the water aboard ARGIA for a uniquely coastal live music experience in Mystic. Guests sail through the harbor and surrounding waters while enjoying performances by Geoff Kaufman\, longtime former Foreman of Interpretive Music Programs at Mystic Seaport Museum and director of the museum’s renowned Sea Music Festival. \nKnown throughout the maritime folk music world\, Kaufman specializes in sea chanteys\, sailor ballads\, and traditional music connected to working life on the water. His performances blend music\, storytelling\, humor\, and historical context into an atmosphere that feels deeply tied to New England’s seafaring history. Hearing these songs aboard a traditional sailing vessel adds an authenticity that turns the evening into something closer to a living maritime tradition than a standard concert. \nGuests are encouraged to bring a picnic basket and a bottle of wine\, helping create a relaxed sunset atmosphere while the schooner moves through the Mystic area under sail. The combination of live folk music\, ocean air\, and historic surroundings makes the experience especially appealing for visitors looking for something quieter and more atmospheric than a typical night out. Booking information is available through the ARGIA website by selecting the appropriate sailing date and time. \nSEO Description (160 characters max):

SUMMARY:Boyz II Men
DESCRIPTION:There’s a reason Boyz II Men still feel like an event when they hit the stage. Their sound isn’t built on gimmicks… It’s built on harmony\, control\, and emotion that lands right where it’s supposed to. On their current run of tour dates through 2026\, they’re bringing that signature blend of R&B\, soul\, and pop balladry to venues across the country\, mixing standalone shows with larger events and festival appearances. \nAt the center of it all are those songs that don’t really age… “End of the Road\,” “I’ll Make Love to You\,” “On Bended Knee.” They’re not just hits\, they’re moments people carry with them. The group—Nathan Morris\, Wanya Morris\, and Shawn Stockman—still lean into what made them iconic in the first place: tight\, layered vocals and a stage presence that doesn’t need flash to hold attention. And when those harmonies lock in live\, it’s one of those rare things that sounds just as full as you remember. \nDepending on the stop\, the experience shifts a bit. Some dates are more intimate\, others are part of larger tours or special events\, but the core feeling stays the same… nostalgic without feeling stuck in the past. It turns into a shared experience pretty quickly\, especially once the crowd realizes they know *every word*. If you’re looking for a night that leans into timeless R&B and pure vocal chemistry\, this tour delivers in a way that feels both familiar and still worth showing up for.

SUMMARY:The Best of Steve Martin & Martin Short
DESCRIPTION:There’s something kind of rare about watching two comedy legends who genuinely enjoy messing with each other… and that’s exactly what you get with *The Best of Steve Martin & Martin Short* tour. It’s not just stand-up\, and it’s not quite a traditional show either… it lands somewhere in between\, blending sharp jokes\, playful jabs\, and decades of shared history into something that feels loose but incredibly dialed in. From the moment they step on stage\, the tone is set: this is going to be fast\, funny\, and just a little unpredictable. \nWhat makes it hit is the chemistry. Steve Martin and Martin Short don’t just perform side by side… they bounce off each other constantly\, trading insults\, building bits together\, and stretching moments in ways that feel spontaneous even when the timing is razor sharp. The show moves quickly between stand-up\, sketches\, and even music\, with Martin bringing out his banjo and Short slipping into some of his classic characters. It keeps shifting just enough that you never quite settle into one rhythm… in a good way. \nLive\, it feels more like a shared night than a scripted performance. Some parts are polished\, others feel like they could go off in any direction depending on the crowd or the moment. That mix of structure and freedom is what makes it work… you’re watching two masters who know exactly what they’re doing\, but still leave room for surprise. If you’re into comedy that’s smart\, playful\, and built on timing and personality instead of shock value\, this tour delivers in a way that’s both nostalgic and completely alive.

SUMMARY:Thursdays Aboard ARGIA: Seaside Shadows Haunted Seafarers
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays aboard ARGIA: Seaside Shadows Haunted Seafarers blends ghost stories\, maritime history\, and sunset sailing into one eerie shoreline experience aboard ARGIA. Hosted in partnership with Seaside Shadows Haunted History Tours\, the event explores centuries of supernatural legends tied to Mystic and the surrounding coastal waters while guests sail through the same harbors and waterways where many of the stories originated. \nDuring the two-hour sail\, storytellers from Seaside Shadows guide passengers through chilling tales connected to colonial conflicts\, shipwrecks\, vanished sailors\, wartime encounters\, and unexplained happenings stretching back to the Pequot Wars\, King Philip’s War\, the Revolutionary War\, and the War of 1812. The stories lean heavily into the darker side of New England maritime history\, using the setting of the water itself to heighten the atmosphere as daylight fades along the shoreline. \nThe combination of live storytelling\, ocean air\, and the creaking wooden schooner creates an experience that feels part history lesson and part ghost story gathering at sea. Scheduled sailings include May 21 at 6:00 PM and October 8 at 5:00 PM\, both lasting approximately two hours. Guests can reserve tickets through the ARGIA website by selecting the appropriate date and sailing time. For fans of haunted history\, folklore\, and atmospheric New England storytelling\, this may be one of the most immersive ghost-themed events on the shoreline calendar. \n

SUMMARY:Kathleen Madigan
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever wanted a night of comedy that feels like you’re sitting in a bar listening to someone who’s seen *everything* and somehow made it funny… that’s what you get with Kathleen Madigan. She’s been doing this for decades\, and it shows in the best way. No flash\, no gimmicks… just sharp storytelling\, dry delivery\, and that perfectly timed punchline that sneaks up on you a half-second late and hits even harder because of it. \nOn her current tour\, she leans into what she does best… observational comedy that feels grounded and real. She’ll move through topics like family\, travel\, everyday frustrations\, and the weird little contradictions in how people live\, all with that laid-back\, almost conversational tone. It doesn’t feel like she’s performing *at* you… it feels like she’s talking *with* you\, just funnier than anyone you actually know. \nLive\, the rhythm is what pulls you in. The laughs don’t come from big setups or shock moments… they build. One story rolls into the next\, callbacks land when you’re not expecting them\, and suddenly you realize you’ve been laughing steadily the entire time. It’s smart\, it’s effortless\, and it’s the kind of show that doesn’t need to be loud to fill a room. If you’re into comedy that’s sharp without being showy\, this tour hits that sweet spot and just stays there.
