Weekend Agenda: Toe Jam Band, Roger Williams Homage

Blithewold Mansion hosts an outdoor lunchtime concert, and a short drive will bring you to great ocean-side locations.

It's shaping up to be a great weekend in Bristol and Warren — what are you planning to do?

We've got a list of destinations for weekend travel — including events in nearby towns.

Friday, Aug. 23:

Scenic Blithewold Mansion is the site for the Family Fun Friday, with the Toe Jam Puppet Band. The East Bay Chamber of Commerce brings the live performance and refreshments [thanks, Leo's Pizza]. You bring the blanket and other luncheon fare. Rain or shine.

For a much different vibe, head down to the Newport Yachting Center for the Brew and View, with the classic flick Jaws and almost a dozen local food trucks, plus Sam Adams to purchase. Bring blankets and chairs. 

Saturday, Aug. 24: 

The Barrington Farmers' Market in on for 9 a.m. to noon, at 461 Old County Road. Featuring local vendors and artists.

Another outdoor movie is planned for 3rd Beach Road in Middletown by newportFILM Outdoors. This week's film is The Short Game. $5 suggested donation.

Sunday, Aug. 25:

Celebrate Rhode Island's founder [did you know it's 350 years this year?] at Touro Synagogue in Newport with a performance of New and Dangerous Opinions of Roger Williams. The Aurea Ensemble provides a soundtrack to readings of Williams.
