SUMMARY:Westerly Pawcatuck Memorial Day Parade 2026
DESCRIPTION:Westerly Pawcatuck Memorial Day Parade 2026 returns on Monday\, May 25\, bringing one of the region’s longest-standing patriotic traditions through the streets of Westerly and Pawcatuck. Beginning at 9:30 a.m.\, the parade moves from behind the Pawcatuck Shopping Center along Pequot Trail before making its way through both communities with multiple memorial stops and ceremonies honoring fallen service members. More than just a parade\, the morning carries the emotional weight and reflection that define Memorial Day observances across New England. \nWesterly Pawcatuck Memorial Day Parade blends traditional hometown pageantry with moments of remembrance that connect directly to the area’s military history and community roots. Marching groups\, veterans organizations\, local officials\, and community participants travel together toward the War Memorial at the corner of Route 1 and Pequot Trail for the first formal ceremony of the morning. The procession then continues toward the bridge crossing the Pawcatuck River\, where flowers of remembrance are placed during a second ceremony marking the Connecticut and Rhode Island border shared by the two closely connected communities. \nThe morning concludes with a final Memorial Day ceremony at the gazebo in Wilcox Park\, where attendees gather beneath the trees and open skies of downtown Westerly for speeches\, reflection\, and tribute. The atmosphere throughout the event tends to balance solemn remembrance with the unmistakable feeling of a traditional small-town Memorial Day\, where families line the streets\, veterans are greeted with applause\, and generations come together to honor those who served. For many local residents\, it remains one of the defining community events of the holiday weekend. \nSEO Description:

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:Misquamicut Drive-In: HOCUS POCUS
DESCRIPTION:Misquamicut Drive-In: HOCUS POCUS brings spooky season nostalgia and Halloween comedy to the giant outdoor screen at Misquamicut Drive-In for a movie night filled with witches\, laughs\, and autumn atmosphere. Starring Bette Midler\, Sarah Jessica Parker\, and Kathy Najimy\, HOCUS POCUS has evolved from a cult favorite into one of the most beloved Halloween movies ever made. Set in Salem\, Massachusetts\, the film follows the mischievous Sanderson sisters after they’re accidentally resurrected on Halloween night\, unleashing chaos\, magic\, and plenty of quotable moments along the way. \nThe Misquamicut Drive-In has become one of Rhode Island’s most memorable seasonal traditions\, blending classic outdoor movie culture with beach town atmosphere and a little bit of nostalgia. As darkness settles over the lot and the giant screen flickers to life\, families\, friend groups\, and couples gather in lawn chairs and open tailgates wrapped in blankets and sweatshirts. Watching HOCUS POCUS outdoors feels especially fitting once the air cools down and the night takes on that unmistakable early-fall feeling. Between the glow of the screen and the sound of laughter rolling across the crowd\, the entire evening starts to feel like a community Halloween celebration. \nPart of the experience comes from the drive-in’s immersive setup. Guests tune their radios to 96.3 FM to hear the movie audio directly through their vehicles\, creating crisp sound across the entire lot. On cool evenings with the windows down\, the soundtrack and dialogue drift through the air in a way that almost feels cinematic beyond the screen itself. Speakers near the front rows also project sound outward for guests sitting outside close to the screen\, adding another layer to the atmosphere. With witches flying across the giant screen under the open night sky\, HOCUS POCUS becomes exactly the kind of movie people want to watch with a crowd. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• Tune vehicle radios to 96.3 FM for movie audio\n• Front-row guests can also hear audio through outdoor speaker systems\n• Lawn chairs\, hoodies\, and blankets are encouraged for guests sitting outside vehicles\n• Arrive early for preferred parking and setup space\n• Vehicle headlights and bright interior lights should remain off during the movie\n• Cooler nighttime temperatures near the shoreline make layers a good idea\n• Guests should review venue policies regarding food\, beverages\, and outside items before attending \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

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\nSEO Description:
