Due to an increase in the regional spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19, masks are strongly recommended for all attendees and will be available at entry points to the Bandstand.

In the event of rain, Sunday’s concert will take place inside the Roger Williams Park Casino instead of at the Bandstand. Space is limited, first come first served. 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.
