Get star struck at the Frosty Drew Observatory's Public Stargazing Night (61 Park Ln., Charlestown), this and every Friday night at 6 p.m. Be sure to subscribe to the Frost Drew Observatory mailing list or follow them on Twitter (@FrostyDrewOBSY) to receive status updates about our public stargazing program. This is a free event, however donations are greatly appreciated.

Summer Concert at the Gazebo: There's still enough summer left for a couple more outdoor concerts, right?? Head down to Narragansett Beach’s Gazebo Park (25 Ocean Rd.) on Friday night for a free evening of music in the gazebo with "Low B" who will entertain the crowd with funk, hip hop and rock selections! This free event at Casino Park starts at 6 p.m.

Family Fun Day: On Saturday, Aug. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., four renowned storytellers will “share” the South Kingstown High School athletic field with face painters, macaroni necklace makers, musicians, and children’s safety experts from across the state, at a free Family Fun Day sponsored by the Washington County Coalition for Children and South Kingstown School Department.

Comedy at the Contemporary: At 7 p.m. on Saturday, The Contemporary Theater (327 Main St., Wakefield) will host a performance of "Bob" by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb, which tells the story of Bob, the quintessential American man who was born in a White Castle and destined for great things. "This heart-warming play is both hilarious and deeply moving as Bob's life unfolds onstage." Tickets are $20 per person and can be purchased by clicking here to visit the Theater's website.
