Zap the Blackstone!

Volunteers needed at ZAP50!

The list of events below may seem like a hodge podge, but the environment has many dimensions. Each of us has our own interests, and it's likely there is something in the list to interest many Rhode Islanders. Don't be overwhelmed by it! See it as an opportunity to find something you didn't know about that draws your attention.

The other advantage of this very inclusive list is that it has many ways to limit the view. When on the Calendar page, use the search tools to see children/family events, sales, walks, events on a particular topic.... Whatever intrigues you. Explore your options for outdoor activities and learning opportunities during July!

In addition to the activities for children organized by Audubon, US Fish & Wildlife has things to do for kids at Kettle Pond Visitor Center in Charlestown.

See the Just Added Calendar for the latest additions.
