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. Families can bring kids for a free planting activity while visitors wander the farm property\, talking gardening tips\, comparing tomato varieties\, and planning out summer harvests. With free admission and a wide range of seedlings available\, the weekend offers a simple but rewarding way to ease into the growing season while supporting local agriculture at the same time. \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: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: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. The 10:00pm Comedy Club and 9:15pm Roadhouse shows are 21+. All earlier Comedy Club and Roadhouse shows are 18+.

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
