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:Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey The Greatest Show On Earth®!
DESCRIPTION:There’s something about the circus that taps into pure\, wide-eyed wonder… and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus still knows how to deliver that feeling in a big way. On their current tour\, the show leans into a modern\, high-energy format—less about tradition for tradition’s sake\, more about creating a fast-moving spectacle that keeps you locked in from the first moment. Lights\, music\, movement… it all hits at once\, and before you know it\, you’re pulled into a world that feels a little larger than life. \nThe acts themselves blend classic circus elements with newer\, more theatrical production. You’ll see gravity-defying aerial performances\, tight choreography\, and stunts that make you lean forward in your seat without realizing it. It’s polished\, but not stiff… there’s still that sense that anything could go slightly off-script\, and that’s part of the thrill. The pacing doesn’t let up much either\, shifting quickly from one act to the next so there’s always something new catching your attention. \nLive\, it turns into a shared experience across the whole crowd. Kids\, adults\, first-timers\, people who haven’t been to a circus in years… everyone reacts the same way when the big moments hit. There’s laughter\, surprise\, that quick intake of breath when something feels just a little too high or too fast. If you’re looking for something that feels immersive\, visual\, and just different from the usual night out\, this tour brings that mix of spectacle and energy in a way that’s hard to replicate.

SUMMARY:Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center Full Blue Moon Walk
DESCRIPTION:Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center Full Blue Moon Walk offers a rare chance to experience the trails and shoreline atmosphere surrounding the Peace Sanctuary under the glow of a rising full moon above the Mystic River. Guided by an educator from Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center\, the evening walk combines nature\, quiet reflection\, and nighttime scenery in a setting that feels dramatically different after dark. As participants move through the sanctuary trails\, the changing light\, sounds of the river\, and open night sky create an atmosphere that feels calm\, slightly surreal\, and deeply tied to the natural landscape of coastal Connecticut. \nThe Peace Sanctuary\, tucked along River Road in Mystic\, is known for its wooded trails and peaceful riverfront environment\, making it especially suited for guided evening walks like this one. Along the route\, participants may spot lingering spring wildflowers while learning more about the local ecosystem and the changing nighttime environment surrounding the river. Unlike daytime hikes filled with crowds and activity\, moonlit walks at the sanctuary tend to feel quieter and more immersive\, with attention shifting toward subtle sounds\, shadows\, and the movement of the moon across the water. \nFull Blue Moon Walk takes place Sunday\, May 31 from 8:15 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. and is geared toward adults comfortable walking moderate uneven terrain. The walk meets at the bottom of the driveway at the Peace Sanctuary located at 233 River Road in Mystic.

SUMMARY:Blue Moon Paddle at the Weekapaug Inn
DESCRIPTION:Blue Moon Paddle at the Weekapaug Inn invites guests onto the water for a guided nighttime kayaking experience beneath the glow of the seasonal Blue Moon. Launching from the inn’s boathouse at 9 p.m.\, the evening combines moonlit coastal scenery with the peaceful rhythm of paddling through the calm waters surrounding Weekapaug. With the shoreline fading into darkness and the moon reflecting across the water\, the experience feels equal parts outdoor adventure and quiet nighttime escape. \nBlue Moon Paddle is led by the inn’s resident naturalist\, who guides participants through the evening journey while helping even first-time kayakers feel comfortable on the water. The event includes everything needed for the excursion\, including a kayak\, paddles\, a life jacket\, guide\, headlamps\, glow sticks\, and bug spray. The paddle eventually leads guests to a secluded beach where everyone gathers for a celebratory champagne toast while taking in the sight of the Blue Moon rising over the Rhode Island coastline. The combination of open water\, moonlight\, and shoreline silence gives the evening an almost surreal atmosphere. \nWhat makes the experience especially appealing is how approachable it is for beginners while still feeling memorable for more experienced paddlers. Guests do not need prior kayaking experience to participate\, making it easy for couples\, friends\, and adventurous visitors to enjoy something outside the usual dinner-and-drinks routine. Between the glowing headlamps\, the gentle movement of kayaks across the water\, and the champagne waiting at the shoreline stop\, the evening captures the kind of coastal New England magic that is hard to replicate anywhere else. \nTicket Information\n\n$25 for Weekapaug Inn guests\n$45 for non-guests\n\nSEO Description:

SUMMARY:Planet K-Pop The Ultimate KPop Tribute Concert
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you stepped into a full-on K-pop concert… this gets pretty close. Planet K-POP brings together the sound and style of artists like BTS and BLACKPINK\, along with music inspired by *KPOP Demon Hunters* and more\, all performed live by a cast of singers and dancers who lean all the way into the energy. It’s loud\, fast\, and built to feel bigger than just a stage show. \nWhat makes it stand out is how much movement drives the experience. The choreography isn’t just background… it *is* the show. Tight formations\, sharp transitions\, and those instantly recognizable K-pop-style routines keep everything in motion\, backed by dynamic lighting and pacing that rarely lets up. It’s part concert\, part dance showcase\, and part visual spectacle\, all rolled into one continuous flow. \nAnd it doesn’t stay contained to the stage. Between on-stage dance battles\, surprise moments\, and cast interactions that pull the crowd in\, the whole thing starts to feel more like a shared event than something you’re just watching. If you’re into K-pop or just want something high-energy and different from the usual night out\, this one goes all in on the vibe and doesn’t hold back. \n*Disclaimer: Planet KPOP is not affiliated with the artists\, films\, or composers referenced.

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:Glow Nights TreeTrails Adventures
DESCRIPTION:Glow Nights in May brings a completely different atmosphere to TreeTrails Adventures Mystic\, turning the aerial adventure park into a glowing nighttime playground every Friday evening throughout May. Running from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.\, the experience transforms the wooded climbing courses into a colorful mix of lights\, music\, and movement as the sun goes down over Mystic. Instead of the usual daytime ropes-course vibe\, the park takes on the feeling of an outdoor nighttime festival tucked into the trees. \nGlow Nights in May mixes adventure with a party-like atmosphere\, complete with glow bracelets\, glowing necklaces\, music\, and illuminated climbing trails suspended high above the forest floor. Guests can move through rope bridges\, zip lines\, and aerial obstacles while surrounded by shifting lights that make the entire park feel almost dreamlike after dark. The experience leans heavily into the fun of summer nights arriving early\, blending adrenaline and playful energy in a way that feels especially geared toward groups of friends\, couples\, teens\, and adventurous families looking for something different to do on a Friday night. \nThe event has become one of TreeTrails’ most popular seasonal experiences\, especially as warmer weather returns to the Connecticut shoreline region. Reservations are strongly recommended because Glow in the Park nights tend to fill quickly once people start sharing videos and photos online. Between the music drifting through the trees\, the glowing equipment\, and the excitement of climbing through the forest at night\, the event delivers the kind of memorable outdoor experience that feels closer to an adventure attraction than a traditional ropes course. \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: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.

SUMMARY:Jason Mraz
DESCRIPTION:Still Yours Tour with Special Guest Gregory Page \nWith touches of folk\, jam band rhythms\, hip-hop\, and soft rock\, Jason Mraz has built a sound that feels as relaxed and sun-soaked as the California coast he calls home. His music blends playful humor with genuine emotion\, creating a style that’s both easygoing and deeply personal. \nMraz first broke through with “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry)” from his 2002 debut album\, *Waiting for My Rocket to Come*. By the time he reached global success with “I’m Yours” in 2008—a Grammy-nominated hit for Song of the Year—he had already established himself as one of the defining singer-songwriters of his generation. That same era brought major success with *We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.*\, which climbed to number three on the Billboard 200. \nIn 2010\, Mraz took home two Grammy Awards: Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for “Make It Mine” and Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for “Lucky\,” his duet with Colbie Caillat. He followed that momentum with another major hit\, “I Won’t Give Up\,” from his 2012 album *Love Is a Four Letter Word*\, which reached number two in the U.S. and leaned into a warm\, soul-inspired sound. \nWhile “I Won’t Give Up” marked his final Top 40 single\, Mraz continued to build a strong presence with albums that balanced upbeat energy and romantic themes. Releases like 2014’s *Yes!* and 2018’s *Know.* both charted highly\, showing his staying power even as the musical landscape shifted. During this time\, he also expanded into theater\, appearing on Broadway in Sara Bareilles’ musical *Waitress*. \nIn the 2020s\, Mraz has continued to evolve while staying true to his core message of optimism and connection. His 2023 album\, *Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride*\, leans into a disco-inspired sound\, proving that his music can still surprise while keeping that signature sense of joy intact.

SUMMARY:Fuel
DESCRIPTION:at Thr Wolf Den \nIf you came up on late ’90s and early 2000s rock\, this one hits right in that space. Fuel brings their post-grunge\, radio-dominating sound to Mohegan Sun Arena on June 5 at 8 PM\, pulling from a catalog that defined that era of alt-rock. Formed in the early ’90s\, the band broke through with their debut Sunburn and followed it with multi-platinum success\, becoming one of the most recognizable rock acts of the time. \nThe setlist is built around songs that still land hard live. Tracks like “Shimmer\,” “Hemorrhage (In My Hands)\,” and “Bad Day” weren’t just hits—they became staples of rock radio\, with “Hemorrhage” later ranked among the top alternative songs of its era. Their sound blends heavy guitar work with melodic\, emotional hooks\, giving their music that mix of intensity and atmosphere that carries well in a live setting. \nLive\, Fuel leans into that balance—loud\, tight\, and just polished enough to keep the songs hitting the way people remember them. It’s not a nostalgia act phoning it in… it’s a band still built around songs that connect\, especially in a room full of people who grew up with them. If you’re looking for a night of straight-up rock with real staying power\, this one delivers exactly what you want without overcomplicating it.

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:Stonington America 250 Cemetery Clean Up
DESCRIPTION:Stonington America 250 Cemetery Clean Up invites volunteers to help preserve local history during a community headstone cleaning workshop at the historic Robinson Burial Ground in Stonington Borough. Held as part of Stonington’s America 250 celebrations\, the event takes place June 6 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and focuses on hands-on cemetery preservation\, local heritage\, and community involvement tied to the nation’s upcoming semiquincentennial commemorations. \nThe workshop gives participants an opportunity to learn proper headstone cleaning techniques while helping care for one of the area’s historic burial grounds. Organizers will provide cleaning supplies\, while attendees are encouraged to bring work gloves and water. The event is weather permitting and designed to be approachable for volunteers of varying experience levels\, making it as much a community gathering as a preservation effort. \nBeyond the practical work itself\, the event highlights the growing interest in protecting historic cemeteries as living pieces of local history rather than forgotten landmarks. Robinson Burial Ground contains generations of Stonington history\, and events like this help connect residents directly to the people and stories that shaped the borough over centuries. The workshop also reflects the broader goals of America 250 programming\, which often focuses on local history\, civic participation\, and preserving community heritage ahead of the United States’ 250th anniversary. \nWhat makes the event stand out is its quieter sense of purpose. While many anniversary celebrations lean into fireworks and festivals\, this gathering centers on stewardship\, remembrance\, and the simple act of caring for historic spaces together. For history enthusiasts\, longtime residents\, or anyone interested in local preservation work\, it offers a meaningful way to spend part of a summer morning in Stonington Borough. \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
