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:Sunday Funday in Downtown Westerly
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Funday in Downtown Westerly transforms High Street into a walkable outdoor festival filled with shopping\, dining\, cocktails\, lawn games\, and family activities as the heart of Westerly shifts into full summer mode. Hosted across several Sundays in June\, the event closes downtown streets to vehicle traffic and opens them instead to outdoor tables\, artist booths\, vendors\, mini golf\, and the kind of relaxed street-life atmosphere that coastal New England towns seem built for once warm weather arrives. Restaurants and local businesses spill out onto the sidewalks and street itself\, creating an experience that feels part block party\, part shopping district\, and part outdoor dining scene. \nThe appeal of Sunday Funday is less about any single attraction and more about the atmosphere created when downtown Westerly slows down and becomes fully pedestrian-focused for the afternoon. Visitors can wander between boutiques\, restaurants\, cocktail spots\, vendor booths\, and games without constantly navigating traffic\, making the area feel unusually open and social. Families can stop by the kids’ Creation Station running from 1 to 5 p.m.\, while others may spend the afternoon moving casually between lunch\, drinks\, shopping\, and outdoor entertainment as live performances take shape throughout the day. \nSunday Funday in Downtown Westerly takes place June 7\, 14\, and 21 from noon to 6 p.m. along High Street in downtown Westerly and is free to attend. Organizers encourage visitors to support local businesses as restaurants\, shops\, and vendors bring their offerings directly into the street for the event. With outdoor dining\, mini golf\, lawn games\, and a full afternoon of pedestrian-friendly energy\, the series has become one of the shoreline’s more relaxed and community-focused summer traditions. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• Admission is free\n• High Street will be closed to automobile traffic during the event\n• The event includes outdoor dining\, shopping\, cocktails\, vendors\, and artist booths\n• A 9-hole mini golf course and lawn games will be available\n• The kids’ Creation Station runs from 1–5 p.m.\n• Sunday Funday takes place June 7\, 14\, and 21 \nSEO Description:

SUMMARY:Misquamicut Drive-In: JAWS
DESCRIPTION:Misquamicut Drive-In: JAWS brings one of the most iconic summer thrillers ever made back to the big screen just steps from the shoreline at Misquamicut Drive-In. Steven Spielberg’s legendary 1975 blockbuster transformed beach season forever with its story of a quiet coastal town terrorized by a great white shark lurking just offshore. Even decades later\, the tension still works. The slow build\, the unforgettable score\, and the feeling that something might be circling beneath the water make JAWS the kind of movie that feels especially perfect to watch near the ocean on a warm summer night. \nThe Misquamicut Drive-In has become one of Rhode Island’s most nostalgic seasonal attractions\, blending old-school drive-in culture with the atmosphere of a beach town summer evening. Cars line up facing the massive outdoor screen while families\, couples\, and groups of friends settle into lawn chairs\, truck beds\, and open tailgates with snacks and blankets. On nights when the ocean breeze rolls through the area\, the experience feels less like a normal movie screening and more like a community gathering wrapped in neon lights\, salt air\, and movie quotes everyone somehow already knows by heart. \nPart of what gives the drive-in its charm is how immersive the setup becomes after dark. Guests tune their car radios to 96.3 FM\, where the movie audio is broadcast directly into vehicles\, creating an unexpectedly cinematic experience\, especially with the windows down on a cool night. Speakers near the front rows also project sound toward the screen area\, adding another layer to the atmosphere for guests sitting outside their vehicles. Between the beachside setting\, the giant screen glowing against the night sky\, and the collective reactions during JAWS’ most famous scenes\, it becomes the kind of summer memory people talk about long after the credits roll. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• Tune vehicle radios to 96.3 FM for movie audio\n• Guests sitting near the screen can also hear audio through front speaker systems\n• Lawn chairs and blankets are encouraged for guests watching outside their vehicles\n• Arrive early for better parking spots and easier entry\n• Be respectful of neighboring vehicles by keeping headlights off during the movie\n• Outside snacks may be allowed\, but guests should check event policies before arriving\n• Beach evenings can become cool after sunset\, so bringing layers is recommended \n

SUMMARY:Trivia & Taco Tuesday with DJ Trivia RI at Surf Cantina

SUMMARY:Sunday Funday in Downtown Westerly
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Funday in Downtown Westerly transforms High Street into a walkable outdoor festival filled with shopping\, dining\, cocktails\, lawn games\, and family activities as the heart of Westerly shifts into full summer mode. Hosted across several Sundays in June\, the event closes downtown streets to vehicle traffic and opens them instead to outdoor tables\, artist booths\, vendors\, mini golf\, and the kind of relaxed street-life atmosphere that coastal New England towns seem built for once warm weather arrives. Restaurants and local businesses spill out onto the sidewalks and street itself\, creating an experience that feels part block party\, part shopping district\, and part outdoor dining scene. \nThe appeal of Sunday Funday is less about any single attraction and more about the atmosphere created when downtown Westerly slows down and becomes fully pedestrian-focused for the afternoon. Visitors can wander between boutiques\, restaurants\, cocktail spots\, vendor booths\, and games without constantly navigating traffic\, making the area feel unusually open and social. Families can stop by the kids’ Creation Station running from 1 to 5 p.m.\, while others may spend the afternoon moving casually between lunch\, drinks\, shopping\, and outdoor entertainment as live performances take shape throughout the day. \nSunday Funday in Downtown Westerly takes place June 7\, 14\, and 21 from noon to 6 p.m. along High Street in downtown Westerly and is free to attend. Organizers encourage visitors to support local businesses as restaurants\, shops\, and vendors bring their offerings directly into the street for the event. With outdoor dining\, mini golf\, lawn games\, and a full afternoon of pedestrian-friendly energy\, the series has become one of the shoreline’s more relaxed and community-focused summer traditions. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• Admission is free\n• High Street will be closed to automobile traffic during the event\n• The event includes outdoor dining\, shopping\, cocktails\, vendors\, and artist booths\n• A 9-hole mini golf course and lawn games will be available\n• The kids’ Creation Station runs from 1–5 p.m.\n• Sunday Funday takes place June 7\, 14\, and 21 \nSEO Description:

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

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: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\n

SUMMARY:Misquamicut Drive-In: MAMMA MIA!
DESCRIPTION:Misquamicut Drive-In: MAMMA MIA! brings sunshine\, singalongs\, and feel-good summer energy to the giant outdoor screen at Misquamicut Drive-In for a beachside movie night built around music\, romance\, and pure escapism. Featuring the songs of ABBA and starring Meryl Streep\, Amanda Seyfried\, and Pierce Brosnan\, MAMMA MIA! became a worldwide hit thanks to its infectious soundtrack\, Greek island setting\, and joyful\, carefree atmosphere. Between “Dancing Queen\,” “Super Trouper\,” and “Take a Chance on Me\,” it’s the kind of movie audiences can’t help but sing along with. \nThe Misquamicut Drive-In has become one of Rhode Island’s favorite seasonal traditions\, combining classic drive-in nostalgia with the relaxed vibe of a shoreline summer night. Cars fill the lot as groups settle into lawn chairs\, truck beds\, and blankets beneath the open sky while the giant screen lights up against the darkness. There’s something about watching MAMMA MIA! near the ocean that feels strangely perfect. The breezy setting\, the music\, and the warmth of the crowd all blend together into an experience that feels more like a summer gathering than a normal movie screening. \nPart of the charm comes from the drive-in’s immersive audio setup. Guests tune their vehicle radios to 96.3 FM\, where the movie audio is transmitted directly into cars throughout the lot. On warm evenings with the windows down\, the music drifts through the air from every direction\, creating a surprisingly cinematic atmosphere under the stars. Speakers near the front rows also project sound outward for guests sitting outside near the screen\, adding even more energy to the communal experience. By the time the crowd starts quietly singing along to the film’s biggest musical moments\, the entire night takes on the feeling of an outdoor celebration. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• Tune vehicle radios to 96.3 FM for movie audio\n• Outdoor speakers near the screen add sound for front-row guests\n• Lawn chairs and blankets are encouraged for guests sitting outside vehicles\n• Arrive early for easier parking and preferred viewing spots\n• Headlights and bright vehicle lights should remain off during the movie\n• Bringing sweatshirts or layers is recommended once temperatures cool after sunset\n• Guests should check venue policies regarding food\, beverages\, and outside items before attending \n
