Hopefully we're spared from the old adage "April showers bring May flowers." While the winter wasn’t too rough, we are ready for the SUN! April gives us just a taste of what summer in Rhode Island is like. From graduations to cookouts, longer days to lazier afternoons, we all know there is nothing better than summer (and spring) in Rhode Island.

Read on to find out what's new at the PWCVB and with you, our partners.
