SUMMARY:Trivia Night at The Jealous Monk
DESCRIPTION:Trivia Night at The Jealous Monk hosts its own version of trivia every Tuesday called Opinionation.

Forget historical dates and useless trivia you’ll never remember. With Opinionation\, your team will have to determine the five most popular answers given by players to each question. Each round consists of two segments with several questions. There are also bonus and final rounds that can really change the game. This format allows for lots of giggles\, upsets\, and arguing among teammates. \nGroups of friends\, coworkers\, date night- you name it. Our trivia at The Jealous Monk is great for all ages and skill levels. So whether you’re an expert at trivia or you just enjoy the company\, try your skills at predicting the most popular answer while we keep you guessing. \n  \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: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:Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round
DESCRIPTION:Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round returns for its pre-season opening beginning May 23\, operating weekends only until the regular summer season begins June 13. Located in the center of Watch Hill\, Rhode Island\, the historic carousel remains one of the shoreline village’s most recognizable landmarks and enduring summer traditions. Families visiting the coastal destination each year often make a stop at the carousel part of their holiday weekend routine\, with the sound of the ride and the atmosphere of Bay Street helping signal the unofficial start of summer in SW Rhode Island. \nBelieved to have been built in 1867 by Andrew Christian and the Charles W.F. Dare Co. of New York City\, the Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round is widely considered the oldest continuously operating carousel in the United States. Local legend says a traveling carnival brought the carousel to Watch Hill in 1883 before abandoning it\, allowing the attraction to become part of the village itself. Over more than 135 years\, the carousel has survived major storms\, including the devastating Hurricane of 1938\, while remaining a beloved fixture of the Watch Hill waterfront community. \nToday\, the Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round continues to blend nostalgia\, history\, and classic seaside charm for generations of families returning each summer. The hand-carved horses\, historic structure\, and coastal surroundings create an experience that feels deeply tied to the character of Watch Hill itself\, making the carousel one of the region’s most iconic family attractions during the warmer months.

SUMMARY:Bluebird at the UNITED
DESCRIPTION:Bluebird at the UNITED brings the spirit of Nashville’s legendary songwriter circles to United Theatre on Saturday\, June 6 at 8 p.m. Created in partnership with the famed Bluebird Cafe\, the concert series focuses less on flashy production and more on the heart of songwriting itself\, placing artists onstage to perform stripped-down music while sharing the personal stories that inspired the songs. Even before the featured performers are announced\, the format alone carries serious appeal for fans of country\, Americana\, and intimate live music experiences. \nBluebird at the UNITED is part of the theater’s larger “Nashville North” initiative\, an ongoing cultural exchange designed to bring elements of Nashville’s music scene to Rhode Island through performances\, collaborations\, and educational programming. The series reflects the kind of songwriter-round tradition that made the Bluebird Cafe famous\, where lyrics\, storytelling\, and emotional honesty take center stage. Rather than a traditional concert built around spectacle\, these performances tend to feel conversational and personal\, giving audiences a closer connection to the artists and the creative process behind the music. \nThe UNITED Theatre’s intimate atmosphere should make the evening especially memorable. The historic downtown Westerly venue has become known for carefully curated performances that feel immersive and community-driven\, and Bluebird fits naturally into that approach. Expect a crowd filled with serious music lovers\, attentive listening\, and the kind of quiet moments where a single lyric can completely hold a room. For anyone drawn to authentic songwriting and acoustic performance\, this promises to be one of the more unique live music experiences of the early summer season. \n
