August 25 & 26: This weekend the Columbus Theatre in Providence is hosting two can’t-miss film screenings. First, on Friday, is the premiere of the RI Hip Hop documentary Almost Dope, which looks at the state’s homegrown hip hop scene. On Saturday, they’ll be screening the 1927 silent film classic Metropolis accompanied by a live performance of an original metal score.
August 26: If you haven't made it out to one of Providence Kickball League's games yet this year, you're missing out. The "Greatest Show on Dirt" continues on Saturday at Dexter Park, with all the wild costumes and school yard antics that make this one of our favorite summer traditions.
August 26: See feats of raw courage at the second annual Oysta’ Festival at the Block Island Maritime Institute. The celebration of all things oyster brings together farms around the state. Last year, attendees ate over 4,000 freshly shucked oysters – good thing there’s a speediest shucker competition.
