Northern, RI – It’s time for the weekend, northern Rhode Island – a weekly entertainment roundup that aims to get you out of the house and into that art class, theatre seat, bar stool or whatever other activity you fancy, with a listing of events happening right here in our small towns.
We kick things off this week with a list of St. Patrick’s Day festivities, from Irish Step Dancers with a side of corned beef, to karaoke and live music.
The hope, as always, is to support local artists and businesses while providing you all information you need to enjoy a fabulous weekend close to home.
Are you a local artist or venue, based in Burrillville, North Smithfield or Glocester, whose events and news should be listed in our weekly entertainment section? Email your listing information to sandy@nrinow.news for publication free of charge.
Don’t forget to spread the word: you saw it on NRI NOW.
