Essential numbers and key things to do for the ultimate Rhode Island visit

August

International Quahog Festival
August 28-29; Wickford
401-885-4118

Pay homage to Rhode Island's state shellfish, the quahog. This giant mollusk will be served just about every possible way, including playing a leading role in the baked stuffed quahog cook-off. The pros will offer tips on clam-shucking and bull-raking, plus there will be plenty of musical entertainment.
