Glow Nights TreeTrails Adventures
2026-08-04 18:00 - 22:00 | TreeTrails Adventures, 715 Noank Ledyard Road, Mystic, 06355, United States
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.
Glow 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.
The 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.

Taco Tuesday at Milestone Mystic
2026-08-04 17:00 - 22:00 | CT
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.
Taco 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.
The 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.

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.
Trivia & 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.
Tuesday 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.

Brickwrecks: Sunken Ships in LEGO Bricks

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.
The 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.
Interactive 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.

Held inside the Thompson Exhibition Building’s Masin Room, the three-day event combines model railroading, craftsmanship, and regional history in a family-friendly setting.
At the heart of the exhibition is the Narragansett Bay Railway & Navigation Co., a detailed 1:48-scale On30 modular railroad featuring trains traveling through coastal towns, waterfront scenes, and landscapes modeled after the character of New England’s shoreline communities. The display highlights the artistry, engineering, and attention to detail that make model railroading a favorite hobby for enthusiasts of all ages.

Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round

Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round begins its regular summer season on June 13, welcoming families back to one of the most beloved and historic attractions along the Rhode Island shoreline. Located in the heart of Watch Hill, the carousel has long been woven into the rhythm of summer in the seaside village, with generations of visitors making a ride part of their annual trips to the coast. As shops, beaches, and restaurants fill with early summer crowds, the opening of the Merry-Go-Round marks another sign that the season is fully underway in SW Rhode Island.
Believed 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 ride to become a permanent part of the village itself. Over the decades, the carousel survived major storms, including the devastating Hurricane of 1938, while remaining one of the area’s most enduring landmarks.
Today, the Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round continues to deliver the same nostalgic charm that has drawn families to it for generations. The hand-carved horses, historic structure, and coastal surroundings create an experience that feels timeless against the backdrop of Watch Hill’s beaches and waterfront streets. For many visitors, a ride on the carousel remains one of the defining traditions of summer along the Rhode Island coast.

Brunch with Bottomless Mimosas at The Jealous Monk turns Sunday mornings into a relaxed social gathering with brunch, cocktails, and a lively atmosphere at The Jealous Monk. Running Sundays from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM, the weekly brunch combines casual dining with bottomless mimosas, creating the kind of laid-back weekend stop that naturally pulls in groups of friends, couples, and visitors exploring Mystic for the day.
The focus is simple: good food, drinks, and atmosphere without overcomplicating the experience. Guests can settle in for a slower-paced Sunday morning while enjoying brunch favorites alongside continuous mimosa pours that keep the energy light and social. Located in the heart of Olde Mistick Village, the setting also makes it easy to turn brunch into part of a larger weekend outing filled with shopping, walking, and shoreline exploring.
What makes brunch at The Jealous Monk stand out is the balance between comfort and energy. It feels active without becoming chaotic, offering enough buzz to make the room lively while still giving people space to relax and catch up over drinks and food. For locals looking for a standing Sunday tradition or visitors searching for an easy brunch stop in Mystic, the event delivers exactly what most people want from a weekend brunch: good company, good drinks, and no rush to leave.
