Community Calendar – Issue #3
February 23 – March 8, 2026
Welcome back to the Community Calendar — our bi-weekly roundup of local events and activities across Southeastern Connecticut and Coastal Rhode Island. We focus on events people actually attend: live music, arts, family activities, markets, and seasonal happenings (and we intentionally exclude town meeting dates).
Want to submit an event? Email info@seaportre.com with the subject line Community Event Submission and include the event name, town, date/time, a short description, and a link.
