Event FAQ
While service dogs are welcome, there are no pets allowed unless they can play an instrument!
There is NO PARKING allowed at the beach after 5:30pm, only drop offs are allowed. Parking at the beach prior to 5pm requires a parking pass issued by the town.
Because parking spots are limited at town beach, we recommend parking at the town lot in downtown Wickford or at the High School at 150 Fairway Drive. Both lots are a ~15 minute walk from the beach. You cannot park on Boston Neck Road or Beach St. You are welcome to drop off people with mobility limitations, children, and supplies such as chairs and coolers at the beach before finding parking. Please consider carpooling with your friends or using alternate transportation such as bicycles if you are able!
No, in the event of rain, concerts are held at the North Kingstown High School at 150 Fairway Drive in the auditorium. Please call the town at 401-268-1543 after 2:30 on the day of or check our social media for updates. Don’t let the rain keep you from enjoying the music!
