Northern, RI – Welcome to the weekend northern Rhode Island, our roundup of things to do, places to go and live entertainment to see – right here in our small towns.
This week, Friday is cancelled. Well, maybe not completely, but several outdoor events originally scheduled for today have been postponed, and we recommend double-checking with the venue before you leave the house for anything weather-dependent.
The rain will stop… eventually, so we recommend you get out while you can on Saturday and Sunday to enjoy the nice weather.
Did we miss you? Send your local events and happenings to sandy@nrinow.news.
