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 pilot weekends last year were so enjoyed by our visitors that we've decided to
make them an annual affair. This incredible three day event showcases the many
different events and activities island visitors can enjoy - from gallery
openings and tours to shopping discounts, hotel
packages, restaurant specials and wine tastings.
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!
The Fifth Annual Motoring Event will showcase vintage vehicles. Outdoor
enthusiasts will be able to learn how to fly fish 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.
History buffs can tour the Southeast Lighthouse or the Historical Society. 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. 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!
