SUMMARY:Mother’s Day Brunch at The Port of Call
DESCRIPTION:Mother’s Day Brunch at The Port of Call offers a different kind of Mother’s Day experience at The Port of Call\, centered around a French-inspired take on afternoon tea. Running from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM\, the event leans into a slower\, more intimate style of dining\, where the focus is less on volume and more on presentation\, atmosphere\, and time spent together. \nInstead of a traditional brunch format\, guests can expect tiered towers of sweet and savory bites designed for sharing\, paired with tea service and a more refined\, European feel. The “high tea” approach creates a relaxed pacing\, encouraging conversation and a more thoughtful experience compared to a typical meal. It’s a setting that naturally feels a bit more special without being overly formal. \nWith its extended hours and unique format\, The Port of Call offers a quieter alternative to the larger brunch crowds in Mystic. As a Mother’s Day option\, it stands out for those looking to do something a little different… something that feels less like a rush to a reservation and more like settling in and enjoying the moment. \n

SUMMARY:Mother’s Day Prix Fixe at Via Emilia
DESCRIPTION:Mother’s Day Prix Fixe at Via Emilia offers a refined Italian dining experience at Via Emilia built around a structured four-course menu. At $69 per person\, the format leans fully into a traditional prix fixe approach\, where each course is thoughtfully paced and designed to be enjoyed rather than rushed.

Options range from dishes like imported buffalo mozzarella caprese and house-made meatballs to more seafood-forward selections like marinated shrimp salad and a saffron-based seafood stew. The second course continues that range\, with handmade pastas\, bolognese\, and dishes like crispy chicken cutlet or a dry-aged ribeye upgrade\, giving guests flexibility while keeping the experience curated. \nDessert is served family-style\, featuring a tasting of Italian classics like tiramisu\, cannoli\, and chocolate torte\, rounding out the meal in a way that encourages sharing and conversation. The overall experience is less about variety and more about quality and pacing\, offering a sit-down meal that feels intentional from start to finish. For Mother’s Day\, Via Emilia stands out as a more traditional\, European-style celebration centered on the table. \n

SUMMARY:Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis at the Garde
DESCRIPTION:Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis at the Garde Arts Center brings one of the most celebrated ensembles in American music to the stage during a pivotal moment in jazz history. The performance arrives as part of the lead-up to Marsalis’ final season as Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center and Music Director of the orchestra he helped shape into a worldwide ambassador for jazz. For longtime fans and newer listeners alike\, the concert carries the feeling of both a masterclass and a milestone\, showcasing musicians who continue to preserve and expand the tradition of big band jazz at the highest level. \nJazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis features a 15-piece ensemble filled with internationally respected soloists and arrangers\, from powerhouse trumpet sections to richly layered saxophone and trombone arrangements. Under the direction of Wynton Marsalis\, the orchestra moves fluidly through classic works and modern compositions\, drawing from legends like Duke Ellington\, Count Basie\, Charles Mingus\, Dizzy Gillespie\, and Thelonious Monk while also performing newer arrangements written by members of the orchestra itself. The result is not just a concert but an immersive exploration of jazz history\, improvisation\, rhythm\, and collaboration. \nThere is a certain electricity that comes with hearing a world-class jazz orchestra live. The sharp brass hits\, the slow-building piano passages\, the sudden bursts of improvisation\, and the quiet moments between notes all land differently inside a concert hall than they ever could through headphones. Marsalis has spent decades championing jazz as both an American art form and a way of life rooted in creativity\, discipline\, and resilience. That philosophy runs through every performance by the orchestra\, creating a night that feels sophisticated\, emotional\, and deeply alive from the opening note to the final standing ovation. \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.

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

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Taco Tuesday at Milestone Mystic
DESCRIPTION:Taco Tuesday at Milestone Mystic  brings weekly margaritas\, rotatng taco specials\, and waterfront-night-out energy to downtown Mystic every Tuesday starting at 5 p.m. Sitting right along Water Street\, Milestone already carries the kind of lively coastal atmosphere that feels made for warm-weather evenings\, and Taco Tuesday adds an easy excuse to settle in with friends after work or stretch dinner into a full night out. \nTaco Tuesday at Milestone keeps the menu fresh by rotating taco selections each week\, giving regulars something new to look forward to beyond the usual specials. Guests can grab three tacos for $18 while pairing them with $10 margaritas and sangrias or $5 Modelos and Coronas. The combination leans casual and social rather than overcomplicated\, creating the kind of weekly gathering spot where people linger over drinks\, split appetizers\, and watch the evening crowd build as the night goes on. \nThe location itself adds a lot to the experience. Water Street tends to come alive in the evenings during the warmer months\, with visitors moving between restaurants\, bars\, and the nearby waterfront while Mystic’s downtown energy shifts from daytime tourism to nightlife. Taco Tuesday fits naturally into that rhythm\, offering an affordable midweek outing with enough variety to keep locals and visitors coming back throughout the summer season. \n

SUMMARY:Thursdays Aboard ARGIA: Live Music with James Harris
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays aboard ARGIA: Live Music with James Harris combines live acoustic music with sunset sailing aboard ARGIA for a shoreline experience that feels distinctly Mystic. Taking place on select Thursday evenings throughout the season\, the public sailing trips feature local favorite James Harris performing acoustic classic and modern rock while guests cruise through the coastal waters surrounding downtown Mystic. \nHarris\, a guitarist and vocalist well known around the Mystic music scene\, has spent more than a decade performing aboard ARGIA during private charters and now brings that atmosphere to public evening sails.

The combination of live music\, sea air\, and shoreline views transforms the sail into part concert\, part summer escape. \nScheduled dates include May 14 at 6:00 PM\, June 11 at 6:00 PM\, and September 10 at 5:30 PM\, with each sailing lasting approximately two hours. Guests can reserve tickets through the ARGIA website by selecting their preferred sailing date and time. For couples\, visitors\, or locals looking for something different from the standard restaurant-and-bar night out\, the event offers one of the more uniquely coastal live music experiences happening in southeastern Connecticut this season. \n

Hosted in partnership between Mystic Seaport Museum and Connecticut Public Television\, the event features a military history-focused segment from Ken Burns’ upcoming documentary The American Revolution alongside additional historical interpretation connected to the museum’s collections. \nThe featured 50-minute screening examines the Revolutionary War through multiple perspectives while exploring battlefield strategy\, conflict\, and the broader realities of the era.

SUMMARY:Nate Bargatze: Big Dumb Eyes
DESCRIPTION:There’s a certain kind of quiet confidence to Nate Bargatze that sneaks up on you. On the *Big Dumb Eyes Tour*\, he leans into that same laid-back delivery that made him one of the biggest stand-ups working right now. No shouting\, no over-the-top energy… just clean\, sharp observations told in a way that feels almost effortless. And somehow\, that makes the laughs hit even harder. \nHis material lives in the everyday. Family\, parenting\, random thoughts that don’t seem funny at first… until he stretches them just enough to reveal how absurd they really are. The pacing is slow on purpose\, the tone almost deadpan\, and then the punchline lands and the whole room realizes they’ve been pulled into the bit without noticing. It’s smart without feeling heavy\, and relatable without trying too hard. \nLive\, it turns into a steady wave of laughter instead of big spikes. The crowd settles in\, listens\, and then just keeps laughing as one story rolls into the next. Something is refreshing about that kind of control… nothing rushed\, nothing forced. If you’re into comedy that’s clean\, low-key\, and quietly hilarious\, the *Big Dumb Eyes Tour* delivers in a way that sticks with you long after the show ends.

SUMMARY:Tammy Pescatelli at the Mohegan Sun
DESCRIPTION:Tammy Pescatelli at the Mohegan Sun Comix Roadhouse brings the Emmy-nominated comedian’s fearless storytelling and razor-sharp sarcasm to Mohegan Sun for four performances from May 14 through 16. Known for comedy that pulls directly from marriage\, motherhood\, family chaos\, and everyday frustration\, Pescatelli has built a career on saying the things other people are usually too polite to admit out loud. Her stand-up lands somewhere between a brutally honest family therapy session and a hilarious late-night rant\, delivered with the timing and confidence of a veteran comic who knows exactly how to work a room. \nTammy Pescatelli at the Mohegan Sun Comix Roadhouse arrives after decades of success across television\, streaming\, and live touring. She first broke out nationally as a finalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” before winning Comedy Central’s “Stand-Up Showdown” and releasing acclaimed specials\, including “Finding the Funny” and “The Way After School Special.” Her humor often draws from her upbringing in a large Italian-American family\, creating stories that feel loud\, personal\, and deeply relatable\, whether audiences grew up in the same kind of household or not. Fans may also recognize her from the WE TV series “A Stand-Up Mother” or her recent appearance in Netflix’s 2025 comedy-drama “Nonnas” alongside Vince Vaughn. \nComix Roadhouse gives Pescatelli the perfect setting for her style of comedy because the venue thrives on close-up interaction and energetic crowds. The room tends to feel more like a packed comedy club than a casino showroom\, which plays directly into her conversational\, fast-moving delivery. Expect stories about family dysfunction\, modern life\, relationships\, aging\, and all the little irritations people secretly love hearing turned into punchlines. For comedy fans looking for a weekend show with big laughs and zero filter\, these performances should deliver exactly that. \nShowtimes\n\nThursday\, May 14\, 2026 — 8:00 PM\nFriday\, May 15\, 2026 — 8:00 PM\nSaturday\, May 16\, 2026 — 6:00 PM\nSaturday\, May 16\, 2026 — 8:00 PM\n\n
