Spring in Rhode Island is underway, but for some of us, it’s never really officially spring until we’ve hopped aboard a few rides, played some games, and eaten traditional fair goodies, until we're stuffed, at one of the best spring festivals in Rhode Island. Mark your calendar because, if you’ve never been before, this is one annual Rhode Island spring festival you don’t want to miss. Welcome to the Misquamicut Spring Festival, one of the best things to do in Rhode Island in spring.
Start counting down the days to the return of the annual Misquamicut Spring Festival at Misquamicut State Beach in Westerly, slated for May 10-12, 2024.
A picture-perfect way to celebrate the season, the family-friendly event promises a jam-packed menu of fun – from classic carnival rides to entertainment throughout the weekend.
Admire the sensational view of Block Island from atop the Ferris Wheel, or watch the kiddos as they climb aboard such popular kiddie rides as the Merry Go Round, Dizzy Dragons, and Circus Train.
The whole family will love the selection of games (and prizes!). From Skee Ball to Whac-a-mole, test your skills and, if you’re lucky, snag a prize.
With the non-stop excitement, you’re sure to work up a hearty appetite. The popular spring festival boasts 400 feet of food trucks for its Food Truck Rodeo. You’ll find a little bit of everything – from tacos and clam cakes to cotton candy and kettle corn.
Check out the beer and wine garden, too.
Dozens of craft vendors will be on hand. Kiddos can also get their faces painted or sit for henna tattoos.
Live entertainment and a classic car show are also planned for the three-day festival.
Admission to the Misquamicut Spring Festival is $10 online or $12 at the gate while kiddos under seven are free. Tickets can be purchased individually or in sets. On Sunday you can buy an all-day ride pass.
Find more information, including ticket prices, on the official website of the Misquamicut Spring Festival. Or, visit the Facebook page of Misquamicut Beach.
