From the Coventry Parks and Recreation Department, we would like to thank all of our 2021 Summer Entertainment Series sponsors for another successful season of free community offerings!

The tent at the summer concert series may be lowered in anticipation of Sunday's high winds...but you can still enjoy the tunes of Stumbling Murphy tonight!

Stumbling Murphy plays music from a wide spectrum of artists and genres including Lucinda Williams, Miranda Lambert, Neil Young, Pink, Tom Petty, the White Stripes, Led Zeppelin, the Black Keys, as well as many more.

The concert (Friday, 8/20) will be held at the Town Hall Annex (1675 Flat River Road). The band plays from 6:30 - 8:00 pm. Gates open 30 minutes before music begins.

The cruise-in will be held at the Town Hall Annex (1675 Flat River Road) during the concert. Cruise-in vehicles will have dedicated parking.

The Rhode Island Department of Health is advising people to avoid contact with Briar Point Beach in Coventry until further notice due to the presence of blue-green algae (or cyanobacteria).

People should be careful not to ingest water or eat fish from the lake. Skin contact with water containing blue-green algae commonly causes irritation of the skin, nose, eyes, and/or throat. Common health effects associated with ingesting water containing algal toxins include stomach-ache, diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea. Rarer health effects include dizziness, headache, fever, liver damage, and nervous system damage. Young children and pets are at a particular risk for health effects associated with algal toxins. People who have had contact with lake waters and experience those symptoms should contact their healthcare provider.

If you come into contact with the water, rinse your skin with clean water as soon as possible and, when you get home, take a shower and wash your clothes. Similarly, if your pet comes into contact with the water, immediately wash your pet with clean water. Do not let the animal lick its fur. Call a veterinarian if your animal shows any symptoms of blue-green algae poisoning, including loss of energy, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, or any unexplained sickness that occurs within a day or so after being in contact with water.

People are advised to avoid contact with waterbodies that exhibit bright green coloration in the water or at the water surface and/or dense floating algal mats that form on the water's surface. The water may look like green paint, thick pea soup, or green cottage cheese.
