SUMMARY:Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round
DESCRIPTION:Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round begins its regular summer season on June 13\, welcoming families back to one of the most beloved and historic attractions along the Rhode Island shoreline. Located in the heart of Watch Hill\, the carousel has long been woven into the rhythm of summer in the seaside village\, with generations of visitors making a ride part of their annual trips to the coast. As shops\, beaches\, and restaurants fill with early summer crowds\, the opening of the Merry-Go-Round marks another sign that the season is fully underway in SW Rhode Island. \nBelieved to have been built in 1867 by Andrew Christian and the Charles W.F. Dare Co. of New York City\, the Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round is widely considered the oldest continuously operating carousel in the United States. Local legend says a traveling carnival brought the carousel to Watch Hill in 1883 before abandoning it\, allowing the ride to become a permanent part of the village itself. Over the decades\, the carousel survived major storms\, including the devastating Hurricane of 1938\, while remaining one of the area’s most enduring landmarks. \nToday\, the Watch Hill Merry-Go-Round continues to deliver the same nostalgic charm that has drawn families to it for generations. The hand-carved horses\, historic structure\, and coastal surroundings create an experience that feels timeless against the backdrop of Watch Hill’s beaches and waterfront streets. For many visitors\, a ride on the carousel remains one of the defining traditions of summer along the Rhode Island coast. \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: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:Shawn Colvin
DESCRIPTION:If you’re drawn to songwriting that feels personal without trying too hard\, Shawn Colvin has been doing that at a high level for decades. A Grammy-winning artist with a catalog that leans into quiet detail and emotional honesty\, Colvin’s live shows are built around connection… the kind that comes from strong writing\, precise guitar work\, and a voice that doesn’t need to overreach to land. With more than 30 years on the road\, she’s built a reputation for performances that feel intimate no matter the size of the room. \nHer breakthrough album *A Few Small Repairs* still anchors much of that legacy\, with “Sunny Came Home” becoming one of those songs that sticks long after it ends. But the catalog goes far beyond a single hit. Across 13 albums\, Colvin has explored themes of relationships\, identity\, and change with a consistency that’s earned critical acclaim and a loyal following. Her work has also reached wider audiences through film and television soundtracks\, but it’s the songwriting itself that continues to carry everything forward. \nLive\, the experience leans into simplicity in the best way. There’s space in the arrangements\, room for stories between songs\, and a pacing that lets each moment settle in before moving on. Based in Austin\, she continues to write\, record\, and tour\, bringing that same blend of vulnerability and quiet strength to the stage. If you’re looking for a night centered on songwriting\, musicianship\, and a voice that’s stayed true over time\, Shawn Colvin’s tour delivers exactly that.
