You're looking for something to do for Mother's Day, right? But where to go, what to do? Here at Visit Rhode Island, we are here for you in your hour of need. We've compiled a list of terrific Mother's Day events and come up with a few unique ideas of our own to help you plan a fantastic day for that special woman in your life. Whether it's your mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, the mother of your children, or any woman who holds a special role in your life, we've got everything you need for a wonderful Mother's Day this year.
Brunches, buffets, tea & more
If food is the language of love, show mom how much you love her with a delicious brunch, lunch, dinner, or tea. Enjoying Rhode Island restaurants and your mom's company is a gift for you too!
Unique Mother's Day events
If your mom is an outside-the-box kind of person, consider these less than traditional ideas! And a couple of these ideas are pre-Mother's Day shopping or crafting events for Mother's Day gifts.
