SUMMARY:Horseshoe Crab Family Walk at Napatree Point
DESCRIPTION:Horseshoe Crab Family Walk at Napatree Point invites families and nature lovers to explore one of the shoreline’s most fascinating ancient species during a guided outdoor experience on Saturday\, May 30\, June 13\, and June 27 from 9 to 10 a.m. Hosted at the Napatree Point Conservation Area beach entrance on Fort Road in Westerly\, the free program gives participants a chance to learn about horseshoe crabs and their unique role in the coastal ecosystem surrounding Little Narragansett Bay. Presented by The Watch Hill Conservancy\, the walk combines environmental education with a relaxed outdoor experience along one of SW Rhode Island’s most scenic coastal landscapes. \nDuring the guided walk\, participants will discover why horseshoe crabs are often referred to as “living fossils\,” having survived for more than 300 million years. The program also explores the species’ importance to modern medical research as well as their ecological significance to Napatree Point and the surrounding shoreline environment. Set against the dunes\, beaches\, and saltwater views of the conservation area\, the event offers a hands-on opportunity to better understand one of the region’s most unusual and historically resilient marine species. \nDesigned for all ages\, the Horseshoe Crab Family Walk is structured as a 60-minute program\, allowing attendees to take advantage of free parking along Bay Street while spending part of the morning outdoors near the water. Light rain will not cancel the walk\, though severe weather may lead to cancellation notifications by email. Registration is required. \n

SUMMARY:Horseshoe Crab Community Science Program – Project Limulus
DESCRIPTION:Horseshoe Crab Community Science Program – Project Limulus gives participants a rare opportunity to contribute to real scientific research while getting an up-close look at one of the planet’s oldest surviving species. Hosted by The Watch Hill Conservancy\, this program marks the organization’s 20th year participating in Project Limulus\, a long-running effort to monitor horseshoe crab populations throughout the region. \nOften called “living fossils\,” horseshoe crabs have existed for hundreds of millions of years and continue to play a vital role in coastal ecosystems. Volunteers assist researchers by surveying spawning activity along the shoreline during the high tides associated with new and full moons\, when horseshoe crabs are most likely to come ashore. The data collected helps scientists track population trends and better understand the health of these remarkable animals. \nParticipants should be prepared for a physically demanding field experience that may involve walking up to two miles\, often in shallow water\, while conducting observations and collecting data. Surveys can last anywhere from 90 minutes to four hours depending on conditions and the number of horseshoe crabs encountered. \nEvent Details\nDate: Saturday\, June 27\, 2026\nTime: 8:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m.\nLocation: Napatree Point Conservation Area\, Fort Road\, Westerly\, RI \nHighlights\n\nParticipate in Project Limulus community science research\nObserve horseshoe crabs during spawning season\nContribute valuable conservation data\nLearn about one of Earth’s oldest surviving species\nGuided by experienced conservation staff\n\nGood to Know\n\nParticipants must be at least 12 years old\nMaximum of six volunteers per survey\nSurveys may involve up to two miles of walking\nWalking in approximately one foot of water is common\nSurvey duration can range from 1.5 to 4 hours\nRegistration is required.

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: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

Whether it turns into date night\, friends night out\, or simply an excuse to unplug for a couple of hours\, the workshop offers one of the more unique creative experiences happening on the shoreline this month. \n

SUMMARY:Shawn Colvin
DESCRIPTION:If you’re drawn to songwriting that feels personal without trying too hard\, Shawn Colvin has been doing that at a high level for decades. A Grammy-winning artist with a catalog that leans into quiet detail and emotional honesty\, Colvin’s live shows are built around connection… the kind that comes from strong writing\, precise guitar work\, and a voice that doesn’t need to overreach to land. With more than 30 years on the road\, she’s built a reputation for performances that feel intimate no matter the size of the room. \nHer breakthrough album *A Few Small Repairs* still anchors much of that legacy\, with “Sunny Came Home” becoming one of those songs that sticks long after it ends. But the catalog goes far beyond a single hit. Across 13 albums\, Colvin has explored themes of relationships\, identity\, and change with a consistency that’s earned critical acclaim and a loyal following. Her work has also reached wider audiences through film and television soundtracks\, but it’s the songwriting itself that continues to carry everything forward. \nLive\, the experience leans into simplicity in the best way. There’s space in the arrangements\, room for stories between songs\, and a pacing that lets each moment settle in before moving on. Based in Austin\, she continues to write\, record\, and tour\, bringing that same blend of vulnerability and quiet strength to the stage. If you’re looking for a night centered on songwriting\, musicianship\, and a voice that’s stayed true over time\, Shawn Colvin’s tour delivers exactly that.
