Newsletters

The CT Beacon is a free weekly newsletter covering the best events, food, live music, festivals, nightlife, seasonal attractions, and shoreline experiences happening across southeastern Connecticut and nearby Rhode Island.

Every edition is curated with one goal in mind: helping you figure out what’s actually worth doing this weekend.

Instead of endless event listings and cluttered calendars, The CT Beacon focuses on atmosphere, local culture, and experiences people genuinely get excited about. From waterfront concerts and seafood festivals to hidden gems, drive-in movies, brunch spots, art shows, and coastal weekend escapes, the newsletter is designed to feel more like a regional lifestyle guide than a traditional local news email.

Subscribers receive:

handpicked weekend events
live music and entertainment highlights
seasonal festivals and coastal happenings
food and drink recommendations
family-friendly activities
local discoveries and hidden gems
curated guides and regional spotlights

The newsletter is typically delivered Thursday evenings, just as people begin planning their weekends.

Whether you’re a local resident, a weekend traveler, or someone looking for a reason to head toward the shoreline, The CT Beacon helps you discover what’s happening across southeastern Connecticut and coastal Rhode Island before everyone else does.

Two hours from the city feels very different out here.
