Guerrilla Tango on the pedestrian bridge
On Sundays at 5 p.m., dance enthusiasts show up at the Michael S. Van Leesten Pedestrian Bridge in Providence with music and dance shoes and dance to traditional tango and a few alternative tunes. Organizers note that this is not a performance, but rather friends getting together to dance socially (though there is a tip jar for the DJ). Inclement weather will force a cancellation.
Bristol PorchFest
Arts In Common presents the 2023 Bristol PorchFest on Sunday, Sept. 17, from 3 to 6 p.m. What’s a PorchFest, you ask? Twenty bands — duos, trios, and groups — will perform on 10 porches along High Street in Bristol, as spectators stroll around enjoying music — everything from jazz to roots to Klezmer, Bossa Nova and bluegrass? — at this free, family-friendly event. An after-party takes place at Unity Park from 5 to 8 p.m. and features live music and food. (Rain date is Sept. 24.) For more information, visit artsincommon.org.
Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day
Muldowney’s Pub, 121 Empire St., Providence, is celebrating the fact that St. Patrick’s Day (you read that right!) is just six month away with green beer and Guinness and Jameson specials all weekend. They promise they have lots of swag to give away and encourage attendees to wear green.
