Neal & The Vipers will play at Hill's Tavern Saturday

Northern RI – It’s The Weekend, northern Rhode Island, time to take a look at what’s happening right here in our small towns over the next four days.

This week, there’s a full lineup of free outdoor entertainment, with Black Plain Road at the gazebo by North Smithfield Town Hall on Thursday; Kelley Lennon at the Stillwater Mill pavilion in Burrillville Saturday; and The Narrow River Band at Kent Field in Chepachet on Sunday.

Give back on Friday at Wright’s Farm Restaurant’s blood drive, and don’t forget to hit up Brown & Hopkins Country Store Saturday for a customer appreciation party – and the Downtown Pascoag Neighborhood Association’s Block Party that same evening.

However you spend it, we hope you enjoy your weekend and consider these great events and venues close to home.
