Saturday, Aug. 16, 2014:
Farmer’s Market, 9 a.m.
Here’s a great earth-friendly way to support local business: Head to Pawtuxet Village, and leave the car down near Pawtuxet Park [on the Warwick side of the bridge]. Then, take a leisurely stroll through the business district and work up an appetite climbing the hill on Broad Street before arriving at the Pawtuxet Farmer’s Market at Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet. Load up your canvas bags with locally grown produce and other items, then glide back down Broad Street and over the bridge for a late breakfast/brunch/early lunch along the water.
Cash, credit, debit, EBT/SNAP, WIC and Senior Coupons accepted.
Craft Fair and Picnic, noon
Conimicut Park hosts more than three dozen artists and vendors for this year’s event. Among them will be Melanie Brunelle, a student at Pilgrim High School who’ll be bringing her wide range of paintings to offer for sale.
Live music and activities for the kids, picnic area, panoramic views of the Bay.
Admission is free.
