Next top Must-Attend Events in Rhode Island

Rugged and beautiful coastal landscapes dominate the small state of Rhode Island, the smallest state in the country. Along the coasts, visitors can get their fill of small-town charm in quaint and peaceful towns. In the larger cities, visitors can enjoy cultural spectacles, seasonal events, festivals and more.

What began as a two week tribute to the season 43 years ago has now evolved into a magnificent month-long event delighting young and old alike. Polar Express rides, doorway decoration contests and puppet shows depicting the birth of Christ are just a few of the special events scheduled. Many activities are free, but proceeds from those that are not are donated to various area charities.
