SUMMARY:Pride in the Park at Wilcox Park
DESCRIPTION:Pride in the Park at Wilcox Park brings music\, community organizations\, live performances\, and Pride Month celebration energy to the center of Wilcox Park for an afternoon designed around inclusivity\, visibility\, and connection. Set among the historic pathways and gardens of downtown Westerly’s best-known public park\, the event combines music\, local nonprofits\, family-friendly activities\, and community gathering into a colorful outdoor celebration welcoming both local residents and visitors from across the region. With summer beginning to settle over the shoreline\, the atmosphere is expected to feel relaxed\, social\, and community-focused rather than formal or heavily programmed. \nOne of the day’s highlights will be the opening ceremony at noon featuring a performance by the Rhode Island Gay Men’s Chorus under the direction of Kim Kuda. Throughout the afternoon\, guests can explore booths and resources from local organizations while enjoying music from DJ Gadget and treats from Pompelmo Gelateria. The combination of live music\, shaded park space\, and community participation gives the event a welcoming festival atmosphere while also highlighting organizations and groups supporting LGBTQ+ visibility and wellbeing throughout southern Rhode Island and southeastern Connecticut. \nLocated just steps from downtown Westerly’s restaurants and shops\, Wilcox Park has become a natural gathering place for community celebrations\, concerts\, and public events throughout the year. Pride in the Park continues that tradition with an event focused on openness\, local connection\, and shared celebration during Pride Month. The event takes place Saturday\, June 6 from noon to 2 p.m. at Wilcox Park on Broad Street in Westerly and is free to attend. \nParticipating Organizations:\n• Bank Square Books\n• CT State Independent Living Council\n• DJ Gadget\n• Free Mom Hugs Rhode Island\n• Rhode Island Gay Men’s Chorus\n• Ocean State Roller Derby\n• Pompelmo Gelateria\n• South County Pride\n• Stonington Pride\n• Wellbeing Collaborative\n• Westerly ARC\n• United Congregational Church of Westerly \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:
