With the summer winding down, Rhode Islanders are hitting the outdoors by storm trying to catch those last drops of sun before the weather shifts to fall. If you haven’t gotten the chance to experience summer in Rhode Island then you better do it quick — there’s nothing like it. One great way to get that last dose is by checking out the 18th edition of the Rhythm & Roots Festival happening at Ninigret Park in Charlestown from September 4-6. The lineup is one of the best so far, so you won’t want to miss out on a good time.
With acts like blues legend Keb Mo, Brooklyn jazz-soul act Lake Street Dive, chicano rockers Los Lobos and wailing wonder woman Sarah Potenza taking part, Rhythm & Roots will once again live up to its reputation as one of the best music festivals in The Ocean State. You’ll be dancing in the green grass after you park for free and the young’ uns won’t have to pay to get into the musical gathering. There will also be one-of-a-kind workshops and many family-friendly activities that makes this occasion a bunch of fun for anyone in attendance.
Check out Rhythm & Roots’ website at rhythmandroots.com for more details on tickets and directions. You can’t pick a better way to spend your Labor Day weekend away from the cubicles and water cooler banter.
