The performance schedule includes such favorite themes as the Opera Classics Series, the Winter Concert Series as well as various seasonal favorites.

The Metacomet Country Club features an excellent course that features a typical Donald Ross design. That means that this is a highly well-maintained course that features well-manicured fairways that make for inviting play. However, once you get to the greens, be sure to use your strategic game to its fullest as the greens tend to be fast and contoured. This is a classy, inviting course that is challenging but also accessible to players who are still learning the game.

Every summer, one of Providence's favorite attractions, the Roger Williams Park Zoo, throws a party that is not to be missed. The Zoobilee: Feast with the Beasts is held every June to raise funds for the continued operation of the zoo. There's plenty of music, dancing, and an opportunity to tour the zoo. There are also several tastes to experience at this festival, as dozens of the area's best restaurants, caterers and bars offer samples for you to enjoy. Plus, a silent auction and a "wildly" unique raffle add to the fun.
