Creole Soul & Carnival this Sunday with Etienne Charles

If any single musical artist today can embody the rich spectrum of Caribbean musical traditions, it is Etienne Charles. Charles and his band bring “Creole Soul” and the sounds of his newest album “Carnival: The Sound of a People Vol. 1” to the FirstWorks Live stage, leading an excursion into the varied acoustic sounds, grooves, chants and rituals of his native Trinidad & Tobago Carnival.

Shake off those blues and celebrate with the sounds, ideas and spirit of Carnival this Sunday, August 15 at Roger Williams Park:

Due to an increase in the regional spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19, masks are strongly recommended for all attendees.*

In the event of rain, Etienne Charles’ concert and related Carnival events will take place inside the Roger Williams Park Casino instead of outside and at the Bandstand. Space is limited, first come first served and masks are required for indoor events.

FirstWorks and Roger Williams Park are committed to following the State of Rhode Island’s guidance on COVID-19 precautions. Patrons are encouraged to view the latest state guidelines at www.reopeningri.com as guidance develops.

*To best protect others, the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) recommends that you continue to wear a mask outdoors in crowded settings and indoors near unvaccinated people you don’t live with. RIDOH also recommends that you continue to stay at least three feet apart from unvaccinated people you don’t live with.
