Wednesday nights at Blithewold are the perfect way to enjoy summer with friends and family! Sit down and soak up the summer sun over Narragansett Bay, and enjoy a variety of musical performances by local musicians. Guests are encouraged to bring picnics, chairs, or blankets. Spread out on our 10-acre lawn, where you can enjoy the music and gorgeous sunset views over the bay.
Don’t have time for a picnic? Don’t worry! New this year, local food trucks will be available for your dining pleasure. Check the date for that week’s food truck.
