Welcome to our island!
 
Come sample our food, our lodgings, our beaches, our activities, our shopping, and our hospitality. And take advantage of the many discounts offered on this very special weekend! This remarkable event is organized with one main objective in mind: to offer our guests a taste of what Block Island is really about and make you fall in love with it!  We want you to make it your island, too.

Our Third Annual Spring Taste of Block Island is an incredible three day event which showcases the many different events and activities island visitors can enjoy - from building sandcastles and tours to shopping discounts, hotel packages, restaurant specials and creating your own sundae.

There will be a wide range of events taking place all around the
island - we think that everyone will find something that caters to their interests!

Our featured event this Spring is the Block Island Chowder Contest and Oyster festival.  You'll have a chance to vote for your favorite chowder - and the winner will be featured in SO Rhode Island magazine!

Come build an elaborate sandcastle for the Sandcastle contest on the Town Beach.  The Arts Festival held right at the ferry landing will feature many artists exhibiting their works.  You can participate in or watch the free Baggo Tournament.  Or take a leisurely ride around the island in a taxi, with your driver telling you of island lore and legends.  For more historical information, take a tour of the Historical Society.

Outdoor enthusiasts will have an opportunity to spend an evening night-sky viewing, be able to learn how to paddle-board or repair their own bike, tour an animal farm, or go kayaking as well as take advantage of many discounts offered by bike and moped rentals.

The food and cooking enthusiasts will have an opportunity to experience the actual tastes of Block Island's eclectic cuisine in many restaurants offering discounts for this unique weekend, and participate in a beer and wine tasting.

Shopping fans are invited to explore the local stores and take advantage of discounts offered only during this weekend.  Learn about lobsters or tour a fiber mill - there is something for everyone this weekend!

Taste of Block Island Buttons will be available for purchase at the Block Island Chamber of Commerce or aboard any Interstate Navigation Block Island Ferry, or the Block Island Express Ferry for $5 per button.

Explore our website for many of the exciting happenings and the discounts available.  Contact the Block Island Chamber of Commerce at 800-383-BIRI (2474) with any questions that you may have, and to book any of the activities that need prior reservations (noted here on the website).  Make your reservations early as they fill up quickly.

Come join us for a wonderful weekend on Block Island!
