Summer Guide 2017 How This Guide Works LAW AND ORDER PARTY SUMMER GUIDE 2017 HOW THIS GUIDE WORKS Here’s a list of 101 things to do this summer, along with a list of roughly 70 spots to check out the water. This year there’s also a bar and restaurant guide for the state’s 20 coastal cities and towns. Events (sorted by date) make up the first section of the guide, and the second half is a list of beaches, parks, nature preserves, and other places to swim, picnic, surf, fish, eat, drink, and so on. The guide also features vintage postcards from the digital collections of Providence Public LAW AND ORDER PARTY Library (provlibdigital.org) WHAT’S WITH THE COLOR CODING? Events are roughly divided into categories. Arts festivals are SUMMER GUIDE red, cultural festivals are olive, nature events are dark green, plays and movies are purple, and so on. You can figure it out pretty easily, or not bother. If something falls into more than 2017 one category I just picked one. 101 Events // 70 Beaches WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE TICKET PRICING? All prices listed are for adults on the day of the event unless otherwise noted. If there’s no price listed then it’s free, just like with the weekly Law And Order Party newsletters. For spatial reasons, and to minimize any chance of error, discounted ticket prices weren’t included. Sometimes tickets are cheaper if you get them ahead of time, or if you’re a child, or if you’re a member of whatever organization is throwing the event. It can’t Matthew Lawrence hurt to ask. www.lawandorder.party Instagram: @lawandorderparty Twitter: @lawandorderRI EVENTS (long weekend!) May 22 - May 29 It’s too hard to resist heat-related puns this Memorial Day weekend, especially with R&B crooner Keith Sweat getting hot and steamy at Twin River. There’s lots to do Saturday and Sunday: a bird watch, an herb festival, a big loud show with a dozen bands, and a performance in Goddard Park by the Warwick Symphony Orchestra. This weekend also marks the annual opening of Spring Lake, a freshwater beach where you can also play century-old arcade games and wooden pinball machines.

If you’re headed south, there’s an open studio tour in North Kingstown and a wine festival over the border in North Stonington. The two-week Music on the Hill festival kicks off this week and includes a lawn performance by the Narragansett Symphony Orchestra. (It’s BYOBlanket.) Finally, Newport’s Rough Point opens up Wednesday for a sketching session.

    Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management 235 Promenade Street | Providence, RI 02908 | 401.222.4700 | www.dem.ri.gov | @RhodeIslandDEM FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Gail Mastrati, DEM: 401-255-6144 Friday, May 1, 2020 [email protected] WITH STATE PARKS POISED FOR A PHASED REOPENING IN PHASE 1, RHODE ISLANDERS URGED TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS AND FOLLOW THE RULES TO SAFELY ENJOY THE OUT-OF-DOORS PROVIDENCE – The Department of Environmental Management (DEM) today announced a plan for reopening state parks in a graduated manner during the first phase of reopening Rhode Island’s economy. While DEM will be staggering park openings, reducing the size of parking areas and restricting hours of operation and activities to prevent crowds, many diverse and varied outdoor spaces will be open for Rhode Islanders to safely enjoy while adhering to the Governor’s guidance on not gathering in groups and practicing social distancing. DEM hopes to reopen all parks by the end of May. A second phase will involve the saltwater beaches. “DEM is pleased to begin a gradual reopening of our beautiful state parks to visitors this month,” said DEM Director Janet Coit. “In the first phase, places like Lincoln Woods, Haines Park, Snake Den, Beavertail, and Fort Adams will be open, providing opportunities to recreate across Rhode Island. There’s no better physical and emotional elixir than fresh air and sunshine, especially during these challenging times.” During the COVID-19 public health emergency, visiting parks should be enjoyed as a solitary experience, with just the members of your immediate household, and not as a group activity.
