"Oakland Beach has been staging its particular version of the Rhode Island summer evening for long enough that the surrounding Warwick neighborhood’s institutional memory of the celebration extends well past the operational tenure of any single parks-department administrator, and the annual fireworks display at the Oakland Beach Seawall on Thursday, July 3, 2026, at approximately 9 p.m. on Oakland Beach Avenue, constitutes the Narragansett Bay’s most specifically neighborhood-scale bayfront celebration in a waterfront setting whose seawall-and-bay geometry gives the fireworks their most consequentially reflective aquatic surface of any Washington or Kent County municipal display within the surrounding Rhode Island holiday calendar" <a href="https://www.lake.com/events/warwick-independence-day-fireworks/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">says Lake.com</a>.Photo: Shutterstock

July 16 6:30pm to 8:30pm&nbsp; Plein Air Painting Class at historic Gov. Sprague Mansion with Wells Goetzmann, artist/educatorOverview:&nbsp; &nbsp; Gather with your fellow Rhode Islanders to make art inspired by the beautiful Ocean State! Governor Sprague Mansion, 1351 Cranston&nbsp;St.&nbsp; Register: 214-558-8731&nbsp; wellsgoetz@gmail.com
What is Plein Air Painting? Plein air painting is the practice of painting landscapes or subjects directly outdoors, "in the open air," rather than in a studio. Meaning we will be venturing out to the places themselves to paint them. The set up will be the use of standing french easels and masonite boards for your canvas. My hope with these workshops and classes is to bring folks together and connect through intentional art making inspired by our surrounding community!
