WARWICK, RI — This week’s Warwick Weekend events offer trivia night BBQ, Imrpov comedy, one-woman drama, a plant walk and some collaging company wrapping things up Sunday.

Speaking of wrapping up, you’ll be wrapping yourself, as the Warwick Weekend events weather forecast remains chill with a blustery sunny afternoon high in the low 30s today, followed by a clearing sunny day Saturday with a high of 39 degrees before dipping to 35 with a chance of snow Saturday, then back into the high 30s with sun on Sunday, as told by the National Weather Service.

Here are some events and happenings to help you decide where you’re spending this Warwick weekend:
