Warwick, RI — Hay rides in Pawtuxet, art in Apponaug, and live performance on Jefferson Boulevard make for a busy week in Warwick events.
Here’s what’s on the schedule, inside and out.
Can’t Miss: Hay rides in Pawtuxet
It’s one of those great autumn traditions: the hay ride. The Pawtuxet Farmer’s Market at Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet hosts rides every half-hour from 9:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 4, with the last ride at 11:30.
Purchase advance tickets [$5 for ages 16+, $3 for ages 4-15, free for kids under 4; $15 family packages also available] at Twice Told Tales, 2145 Broad St. in Cranston, or make sure you get to the market early to ensure a seat.
While you’re there, load up your canvas bags with locally grown produce and other items, and wear your rain slicker — there’s a chance of rain on Saturday, according to the Weather Channel.
Thursday, Oct. 2, 2014:
My Fair Lady at OST, 2 p.m.
“Fa” is a long, long way to run — but it doesn’t take that long to find Ocean State Theatre [just off Main Avenue on Jefferson Boulevard] to catch My Fair Lady.
