What to Do This Weekend

If there was any sense of spring left earlier in the month, it is long gone by now. Summer is upon us. While the heat can be draining, don’t let that trap you in the house all weekend, sitting in front of a fan. Visit one of the many great events taking place this weekend in Rhode Island.

For something family friendly, check out the Magnet Play event at the Providence Children’s Museum. From 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturday the 21st, Magnet Play will encourage children to explore the world of magnetism in the museum’s Discovery Studio.

The Rhody Center will be hosting an open mic night this Saturday. The Rhody Center will be welcoming everyone from aspiring stand-ups to dancers and musicians. This is a great opportunity to get used to performing in front of a crowd. For more information, visit www.therhodycenter.org.

If you want to end your weekend with a shopping spree, check out the Providence Flea on Sunday. A self-styled upscale flea marked, Providence Flea will be accompanied by live musical performances and food trucks.

In addition to vintage goods, you’ll also find many goods by local artists and artisans.

The Providence Flea is held outside, overlooking the Providence River across from 345 Water Street. For more information, visit www.providenceflea.com.
