A couple options around the bay. The first takes place on Saturday, July 3 at Mackerel Cove in Jamestown at around 9 p.m. There’s really only one way to appreciate this quintessential small town event, and that’s from a blanket on the beach at Mackerel Cove. Get there early and park along Hamilton Avenue for an easy in and out.

Expect the show to go off at around 9:15 p.m. Prime viewing spots can be had at King Park Beach; Long Wharf/Perrotti Park; Battery Park; Rose Island; The Officer’s Club at Naval Station Newport; and Fort Weatherill and the Dumplings in Jamestown.
