SUMMARY:The Blue Man Group
DESCRIPTION:There’s really nothing else quite like Blue Man Group. It’s part concert\, part comedy\, part full-on sensory experience… and somehow it all works without a single word being spoken. The trio of blue-painted performers communicates through rhythm\, movement\, and perfectly timed chaos\, turning everyday objects into instruments and the stage into something that feels alive. It’s weird in the best way… the kind of show where you’re not totally sure what’s coming next\, but you’re locked in from the first minute. \nWhat makes it click is the mix of precision and play. One moment you’re watching a tight\, pounding percussion sequence\, the next you’re laughing at something completely unexpected. Paint flies. Lights pulse. The music builds into something bigger than you expect. It’s high-energy\, a little offbeat\, and surprisingly immersive… especially when the audience becomes part of the experience in ways you don’t see coming. \nLive\, it pulls you in fast and doesn’t let go. You’ll see kids\, adults\, first-timers\, repeat fans… all reacting the same way\, somewhere between laughter and “what did I just watch?” That’s kind of the magic of it. If you’re looking for a night that’s different from the usual concert or comedy show\, something visual\, loud\, and genuinely memorable\, Blue Man Group delivers a show that sticks with you long after it’s over.

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.

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:40th Anniversary Firecracker Bingo
DESCRIPTION:Over $1 Million in Cash Prizes • $440\,000 Cash Jackpot Prize • $40\,000 in Door Prizes \nThere’s bingo… and then there’s Firecracker Bingo at Foxwoods Resort Casino. This year marks 40 years of it… Four decades of packed rooms\, rising tension\, and those split-second moments where everything comes down to one number. And for this anniversary\, they’re not holding anything back. This is the kind of event where the stakes feel bigger\, the energy hits louder\, and every card in your hand feels like it might be the one. \nIf you’re planning to be there\, the smart move is locking in your advance package before July 3rd. You’re not just getting in early… you’re stacking your chances. Twelve regular cards\, the option to pre-purchase all 33 games—including warm-ups and specials—and everything ready for you at check-in. No scrambling\, no extra lines… just walk in and get right to it. Early check-in runs from 6AM to 9AM across multiple stations\, giving you time to settle in before things really kick off. And if you want to go bigger\, there are upgraded options that put even more opportunities to win in your hands. \nBut here’s where it turns from exciting to something else entirely… every advance package also puts you in the running for one of ten $4\,000 door prizes. So before the first number is even called\, you’re already in the game. Add in Quick Pick U-PIC-EM plays and a full day of high-energy rounds\, and suddenly this isn’t just bingo… it’s an event you feel from the moment you walk in. Come ready\, come early\, and come with that feeling that today might actually be your day. \nDoors Open At 6AM\nWarm-Ups Begin At NOON\nGames Begin At 1PM

SUMMARY:Stewart Copeland - Spoken Word Tour
DESCRIPTION:There aren’t many musicians who’ve shaped a decade the way Stewart Copeland did—and now he’s stepping out from behind the kit for a rare\, first-ever U.S. spoken-word tour. As the driving force behind The Police\, Copeland helped define the sound of the 1980s with a style that fused rock\, reggae\, and precision rhythm into something instantly recognizable. But this night isn’t just about the hits… It’s about everything that came with them\, and everything that followed. \nThe evening unfolds as a deep dive into a career that spans far beyond the stage. Copeland brings stories from his time at the center of one of the biggest bands in the world\, along with insights into his work as a film and video game composer\, opera creator\, writer\, and filmmaker. Through photos\, videos\, and live conversation\, he walks through the moments that shaped his path\, mixing sharp humor with the kind of perspective that only comes from having lived it. The tone is loose\, engaging\, and unpredictable… more like sitting in on a conversation than watching a traditional performance. \nFor fans\, this is a rare chance to get closer to the story behind the music. The night includes a Q&A\, giving the audience a chance to interact directly\, and VIP packages add even more access with a pre-show meet and greet\, premium seating\, a personal photo\, and signed items. It’s not just a look back… It’s a chance to hear it all\, firsthand\, from someone who helped define an era and kept creating long after it ended.
