WARWICK, RI — This week’s Warwick Weekend events begin with Goddard Park’s Farmer’s Market and Roger Williams Food Truck Friday, a walk with the pooches for suicide prevention and the 9th Annual Strides for Independence Walk, both at Goddard Park Saturday, and the Color-A-Thon.
Sunday, Mother’s Day, is understandably scarce on big events.

Warwick Weekend Events Friday:
Goddard Park Farmer’s Market Every Friday through Columbus Day Weekend, RI Grown, DEM’s farmer’s market program, hosts farmer’s market at Goddard Park selling delicious and freshly-harvested local foods direct from the farm to your dinner table.
Roger Williams Food Truck Fridays The Carousel campus at Roger Wiliams Park Zoo has a lot of open space and rolling hills shaded by trees, the perfect spot to grab dinner from a food truck and listen to music and entertainment during the park’s Food Truck Fridays event. The outdoor food truck festival at Carousel Village starts at 5 pm. Attendance is free, just pay for what you eat and drink from an ever changing rotation of more than 15 food trucks each week.
If you miss this one, don’t worry. They’re going on every Friday till the fall.
