Annual Rhythm & Roots Music FestivalDescription
Held each year at beautiful Ninigret Park in the oceanside community of Charlestown, RI, the Rhythm & Roots Festival draws approximately 10,000 people over the course of the weekend with the largest percentage of attendees coming from New England and the east coast corridor between Boston and New York, and about one third of the festival attendees from other parts of the country. An attraction for the whole family, Ninigret Park also has a state-of-the-art playground, swimming pond and four stages with plenty to do for the whole family.
In addition to all the great entertainment, Rhythm & Roots is renowned for bringing in some of the best food vendors to be found at any festival in the country. Vendors offer a variety of delicacies ranging from Cajun & Creole cuisine to southern style barbecue, Greek, and Middle Eastern foods, vegetarian, dishes and fresh native seafood along with beer, wine, and an assortment of other beverages plus an array of pastries, desserts, treats, and fresh ground coffees including espresso and cappuccino. The merchant area offers top quality vendors specializing in hard to find CDs and recordings, authentic handcrafted musical instruments, fine custom jewelry, clothing and other festive items.
