Rhode Island

 

 

The Herreshoff Classic Rendezvous & Regatta kicks off this Friday in Bristol Harbor. If you're looking to take part in a day of friendly competition on the water, it's not too late to register! Power yachts are welcomed too, as each year the spectating fleet grows larger with boaters looking for a sideline seat to all of the action! Each day, races will be followed by cocktails and a delicious lobster bake with plenty of options that will be sure to leave your stomachs full. 

 

For those looking to become a bit more enlightened about the rich history of Newport, witness the 19th Century version of "traveling in style" as A Weekend of Coaching returns! With approximately a dozen coaching teams taking part in this triennial event, the public is welcome to the free driving exhibition held on the grounds of The Elms mansion beginning at 10:30 am on Saturday morning.

Summer is slowly coming to an end so be sure to take part in the last great firework festival of the year in Martha's Vineyard! Live music begins at 8:00 PM and it has been highly recommended that spectators arrive early as the Waban & Sunset Park fill up very quickly. With the Oak Bluffs Fireworks beginning around 9:00 PM (depending on weather), we can't think of a better way to wrap up another phenomenal summer!
