SUMMARY:Blackstreet
DESCRIPTION:There’s a smooth\, late-night kind of energy that Blackstreet brings that still hits the same way it did in the ’90s. Built out of that New Jack Swing era and guided by producer and songwriter Teddy Riley\, the group carved out a sound that blends R&B\, hip-hop\, and soul into something effortlessly cool. Their breakout moments weren’t just hits… they were mood-setters. Songs like “No Diggity” didn’t just climb charts; they defined an entire vibe. \nWhat makes Blackstreet stick is how clean and confident everything feels. The vocals glide\, the beats knock just enough\, and there’s always that underlying groove pulling you in. Even as the lineup has shifted over the years\, the DNA hasn’t changed. It’s still about that mix of polished production and street-level edge\, where melody meets rhythm in a way that feels both nostalgic and right now. \nLive\, it leans into that feeling even more. You get the hits people came for\, but there’s also this easy\, laid-back connection with the crowd… like the whole room is in on it together. It’s the kind of show where you’re nodding along one minute and suddenly singing every word the next. If you’re looking for a night that slides between throwback R&B and pure feel-good energy\, Blackstreet delivers without forcing it.

SUMMARY:Tammy Pescatelli at the Mohegan Sun
DESCRIPTION:Tammy Pescatelli at the Mohegan Sun Comix Roadhouse brings the Emmy-nominated comedian’s fearless storytelling and razor-sharp sarcasm to Mohegan Sun for four performances from May 14 through 16. Known for comedy that pulls directly from marriage\, motherhood\, family chaos\, and everyday frustration\, Pescatelli has built a career on saying the things other people are usually too polite to admit out loud. Her stand-up lands somewhere between a brutally honest family therapy session and a hilarious late-night rant\, delivered with the timing and confidence of a veteran comic who knows exactly how to work a room. \nTammy Pescatelli at the Mohegan Sun Comix Roadhouse arrives after decades of success across television\, streaming\, and live touring. She first broke out nationally as a finalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” before winning Comedy Central’s “Stand-Up Showdown” and releasing acclaimed specials\, including “Finding the Funny” and “The Way After School Special.” Her humor often draws from her upbringing in a large Italian-American family\, creating stories that feel loud\, personal\, and deeply relatable\, whether audiences grew up in the same kind of household or not. Fans may also recognize her from the WE TV series “A Stand-Up Mother” or her recent appearance in Netflix’s 2025 comedy-drama “Nonnas” alongside Vince Vaughn. \nComix Roadhouse gives Pescatelli the perfect setting for her style of comedy because the venue thrives on close-up interaction and energetic crowds. The room tends to feel more like a packed comedy club than a casino showroom\, which plays directly into her conversational\, fast-moving delivery. Expect stories about family dysfunction\, modern life\, relationships\, aging\, and all the little irritations people secretly love hearing turned into punchlines. For comedy fans looking for a weekend show with big laughs and zero filter\, these performances should deliver exactly that. \nShowtimes\n\nThursday\, May 14\, 2026 — 8:00 PM\nFriday\, May 15\, 2026 — 8:00 PM\nSaturday\, May 16\, 2026 — 6:00 PM\nSaturday\, May 16\, 2026 — 8:00 PM\n\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: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: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: Seaside Shadows Haunted Seafarers
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays aboard ARGIA: Seaside Shadows Haunted Seafarers blends ghost stories\, maritime history\, and sunset sailing into one eerie shoreline experience aboard ARGIA. Hosted in partnership with Seaside Shadows Haunted History Tours\, the event explores centuries of supernatural legends tied to Mystic and the surrounding coastal waters while guests sail through the same harbors and waterways where many of the stories originated. \nDuring the two-hour sail\, storytellers from Seaside Shadows guide passengers through chilling tales connected to colonial conflicts\, shipwrecks\, vanished sailors\, wartime encounters\, and unexplained happenings stretching back to the Pequot Wars\, King Philip’s War\, the Revolutionary War\, and the War of 1812. The stories lean heavily into the darker side of New England maritime history\, using the setting of the water itself to heighten the atmosphere as daylight fades along the shoreline. \nThe combination of live storytelling\, ocean air\, and the creaking wooden schooner creates an experience that feels part history lesson and part ghost story gathering at sea. Scheduled sailings include May 21 at 6:00 PM and October 8 at 5:00 PM\, both lasting approximately two hours. Guests can reserve tickets through the ARGIA website by selecting the appropriate date and sailing time. For fans of haunted history\, folklore\, and atmospheric New England storytelling\, this may be one of the most immersive ghost-themed events on the shoreline calendar. \n

SUMMARY:Lenny Clarke
DESCRIPTION:There’s a certain kind of comic who doesn’t just walk on stage… he *takes it over*. That’s Lenny Clarke. A Boston original through and through\, he came up during the city’s wild comedy boom in the ’80s\, building a reputation on straight-shooting\, blue-collar humor and stories that feel like they were pulled right out of a barroom at last call. He’s loud\, sharp\, unpredictable… and completely in control the whole time. \nYou’ve probably seen him even if you don’t realize it. From Rescue Me to The John Larroquette Show and Are You There\, Chelsea?\, Clarke’s presence jumps off the screen the same way it does on stage. But stand-up is where he really lives. That’s where the stories stretch\, the punchlines hit harder\, and the crowd becomes part of the ride. \nWhen he grabs the mic\, you’re not getting a polished\, safe set… you’re getting the real thing. Big personality\, fast pace\, and that unmistakable Boston edge that doesn’t hold back. It’s the kind of show where you don’t quite know what’s coming next… just that you’ll be laughing when it hits. \nPlease Note \nFor mature audiences only. Located in the Casino of the Earth at Mohegan Sun. \nAll seating for live music is first-come\, first-served. For reservations of five or more\, email [info@comixmohegansun.com](mailto:info@comixmohegansun.com). \nMinors are welcome in the Roadhouse for dining until 10:00pm.

SUMMARY:Glow Nights in May at 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:The Eagles Experience - a Tribute Band
DESCRIPTION:The Eagles Experience – a Tribute Band brings the harmony-driven sound of classic California rock to Courthouse Center for the Arts for two nights of familiar hits\, nostalgia\, and live music that feels built for a spring night out in southern Rhode Island. Paying tribute to Eagles during the group’s iconic 1970s era\, the band recreates the layered vocals\, country-rock guitars\, and laid-back atmosphere that turned songs like “Hotel California\,” “Take It Easy\,” “Lyin’ Eyes\,” and “Desperado” into enduring classics. For longtime fans especially\, these songs carry the kind of instant recognition that can transform an audience from quiet listeners into full-room singalongs within minutes. \nLocated along scenic Kingstown Road\, the Courthouse Center for the Arts has become one of Rhode Island’s most charming intimate performance venues\, hosting everything from tribute acts and theater productions to local concerts and community arts programming. The restored historic building gives performances a warm\, close-up feeling that larger arenas simply cannot match. Instead of giant video boards and stadium crowds\, audiences here get live music in a relaxed setting where every harmony and guitar solo feels personal. That atmosphere works especially well for an Eagles tribute show\, where the music itself is rooted in storytelling\, musicianship\, and mellow late-night energy. \nPart of what makes tribute nights like this so popular is the shared nostalgia they create across generations. Some audience members grew up with these songs on vinyl and FM radio\, while others know them from road trip playlists\, movie soundtracks\, and family gatherings. The Eagles Experience leans heavily into recreating the original feel of the band’s live performances\, from the instrumentation to the vocal arrangements. The concerts take place Friday\, May 22 and Saturday\, May 23 from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Courthouse Center for the Arts. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• This event is open to all ages\n• Outside food and beverages are not permitted\n• A full bar is available onsite for adult guests\n• Free parking is available at the venue\n• Arriving early is recommended for easier seating and parking access\n• Fans of classic rock may want to expect a singalong atmosphere during major hits\n• Tickets can be purchased by clicking the event link below \n

SUMMARY:Mystic Dead at the Charlestown Rathskeller
DESCRIPTION:Mystic Dead at the Charlestown Rathskeller brings extended jams\, improvisational rock\, and laid-back outdoor energy to Charlestown Rathskeller Tavern on Friday\, May 22 from 8:00 to 11:00 PM. Set beneath the trees and string lights of one of Rhode Island’s most beloved live music destinations\, the evening combines jam-band culture\, dancing\, and open-air nightlife into a classic start-to-summer shoreline gathering. \nHeadlining the night is Mystic Dead\, a southeastern Connecticut tribute act dedicated to recreating the improvisational spirit and musical atmosphere of Grateful Dead. Formed during recurring Dead nights in Mystic back in 2018\, the six-piece group has developed a strong regional following through performances that blend recognizable favorites with free-flowing jams that evolve depending on the crowd and the energy of the room. Rather than simply replaying songs note-for-note\, the band leans into spontaneity and the loose musical chemistry that made the Grateful Dead experience unique. \nThe Charlestown Rathskeller setting only adds to the atmosphere\, with outdoor seating\, fire pits\, lawn games\, food\, drinks\, and the kind of rustic environment that naturally fits a jam-band crowd. Guests are encouraged to arrive early for dinner and drinks before settling in for a long night of music under the trees. For Deadheads\, live music fans\, or anyone looking for a relaxed outdoor concert with strong summer energy\, Mystic Dead at the Rathskeller feels built for exactly that kind of night. \n

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:Misquamicut Drive-In: APOLLO 13
DESCRIPTION:Misquamicut Drive-In: APOLLO 13 brings one of the greatest space survival films ever made to the giant outdoor screen at Misquamicut Drive-In for a summer night filled with suspense\, history\, and cinematic awe under the stars. Directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks\, APOLLO 13 tells the true story of NASA’s near-catastrophic 1970 moon mission and the desperate effort to bring three astronauts safely home after an onboard explosion crippled their spacecraft. The film’s realism\, emotional tension\, and unforgettable line\, “Houston\, we have a problem\,” helped turn it into one of the defining historical dramas of the 1990s. \nThe Misquamicut Drive-In has become one of Rhode Island’s most memorable seasonal destinations for outdoor movie nights\, combining nostalgia\, ocean air\, and the simple charm of watching films beneath the open sky. As darkness settles over the beachside lot\, visitors gather in lawn chairs\, pickup beds\, and parked cars facing the massive screen while the glow of the movie reflects across the crowd. Something is fitting about watching a film centered on space exploration while sitting under the night sky itself\, especially in a setting that feels both old-fashioned and quietly cinematic. \nThe drive-in experience adds another layer to the atmosphere. Guests tune their radios to 96.3 FM to hear the movie audio directly through their vehicles\, creating crisp sound throughout the lot\, especially on nights when the windows are rolled down and the ocean breeze moves through the cars. Speakers positioned near the front rows also project audio outward for guests sitting closer to the screen\, adding to the immersive feel of the evening. Between the stars overhead\, the giant screen glowing in the darkness\, and the mounting tension of the mission unfolding scene by scene\, APOLLO 13 feels uniquely suited for a summer drive-in experience. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• Tune vehicle radios to 96.3 FM for movie audio\n• Outdoor speakers near the screen add audio for front-row guests\n• Lawn chairs and blankets are encouraged for guests watching outside vehicles\n• Arriving early is recommended for easier parking and preferred viewing spots\n• Keep headlights and bright interior lights off during the film\n• Even warm beach days can turn cool after sunset\, so bringing extra layers is encouraged\n• Guests should review venue policies regarding food\, beverages\, and outside items before arriving \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:The Big Seedling Sale at Full Heart Farm
DESCRIPTION:The Big Seedling Sale at Full Heart Farm invites gardeners\, families\, and plant lovers to spend a spring weekend surrounded by rows of thriving seedlings\, fresh air\, and early-season growing excitement in Ledyard. Taking place May 22 and 23 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.\, the annual sale has become a seasonal tradition for local growers looking to stock their gardens with strong\, farm-tested plants before summer fully settles in across Southeastern Connecticut. \nThe Big Seedling Sale at Full Heart Farm features thousands of organically grown seedlings started in nutrient-rich soil mixed with locally made worm castings\, giving home gardeners a healthy jump on the growing season. Shoppers can browse more than 30 varieties of tomatoes alongside everything from zucchini and artichokes to herbs\, flowers\, and hard-to-find specialty plants. The selection leans heavily toward diversity and quality\, making it easy for both first-time gardeners and experienced growers to discover something new for raised beds\, backyard gardens\, or patio containers. \nBeyond the plants themselves\, the event carries a relaxed community feel that small farms do best this time of year.

SUMMARY:Armed Forces Day at TreeTrails Adventures
DESCRIPTION:Armed Forces Day at TreeTrails Adventures celebrates military service with a special Memorial Day weekend promotion designed to get families and friends outdoors for climbing\, ziplining\, and aerial adventure courses at TreeTrails Adventures. Running May 23 through 25\, the event invites active and retired military members to enjoy the park’s treetop obstacle courses with a buy-one-get-one climbing offer aimed at turning the holiday weekend into a shared outdoor experience. \nAs part of the Armed Forces Day promotion\, military guests can climb free with the purchase of a companion ticket by using the promo code “AmericaStrong” during online checkout. The offer encourages participants to bring family members\, friends\, or fellow service members along for a day of rope bridges\, zip lines\, elevated trails\, and outdoor challenges set high above the forest floor. Guests are reminded to bring valid military identification when checking in at the park. \nWhat makes the event stand out is its focus on shared experience rather than ceremony. Instead of a formal observance\, TreeTrails leans into adventure\, teamwork\, and spending meaningful time outdoors together during one of the busiest kickoff weekends of the summer season. Between the climbing courses\, wooded setting\, and family-friendly atmosphere\, the event creates a different kind of Memorial Day weekend activity built around movement\, laughter\, and appreciation for military service. \n
