Summer Is Heating Up on the Open Rhode!

Who doesn’t love a good road trip? Here in RI, we prefer a good Rhode trip. And we think you should hit the Open Rhode and explore the Ocean State this summer. We're digging out our bathing suits and flip-flops (who are we kidding, we've been in flip-flops since March) and getting ready for our best summer yet!

With so many beautiful beaches, delicious food festivals, outdoor art festivals and much, much more the entire family is sure to enjoy RI in the summer.  For those days when the sunshine may be hiding we also have plenty of indoor or rainy day fun (those new flowers need water, after all) explore our historic homes and Gilded Age mansions (as in HBO's The Gilded Age!), as well as our fascinating history and art museums.

As things warm-up, you'll enjoy fantastic outdoor dining with waterfront or cityscape views, as well as outdoor beer gardens at our craft breweries. There's shopping and strolling our charming villages, and loads of fun for the littles at our zoo, playgrounds, carousels, and nature centers. There are also walking tours, boat tours, food tours, bus tours, garden tours, and more.

That's a lot to choose from, but you only need to answer one question: What will your summer be on the Open Rhode?
