Community Calendar
Issue #6 | April 5 – April 19, 2026 | Southeastern CT & RI Shoreline
Welcome to Issue #6 of Our Community Calendar — Our biweekly look at what is happening across New London County, Middlesex County, Washington County, and Newport County. As spring begins to take hold, so does the rhythm of the shoreline. Restaurants are busier, outdoor experiences are returning, live music is filling local venues, and communities throughout the region are stepping into a new season.
Below is a curated selection of events and seasonal highlights taking place over the next two weeks. This is not meant to be every event on the calendar, but rather a useful roundup of the people, places, and experiences helping shape life across Southeastern Connecticut and the Rhode Island shoreline.
