Northern, RI – It’s time for The NRI Weekend, our weekly entertainment roundup that aims to get you out of the house and into that art class, theatre seat, bar stool or whatever other activity you fancy, with a listing of events happening right here in our small towns.
“But, where can I find local artists playing outside the area?” you ask. Not to fear: we also try to keep up with the local artists hailing from our communities, and let you know when and where they’ll be performing each week.
The hope, as always, is to support local artists and businesses while providing you all information you need to enjoy a fabulous weekend close to home.
Are you a local artist or venue, based in Burrillville, North Smithfield or Glocester, whose events and news should be listed in our weekly entertainment section? Email your listing information to [email protected] for publication free of charge.
Don’t forget to spread the word: you saw it here, on NRI NOW.
