Thursdays on the Dock: The Italics

learn more

Thursdays on the Dock has been a shoreline staple for 17 years and remains the premier destination for waterfront music. Swing by each Thursday evening in July and August, bring a chair or blanket, listen to a free concert, and watch the sun go down over the river.

The Italics play rock ‘n’ roll music inspired by the Beatles and the British Invasion. Formed in 1965 by 2 brothers and 2 friends who shared a love of music, they continue to spread their love of music through performances across Connecticut and Rhode Island.

In case of inclement weather, please check our site. All updates will be shown there. Beer and wine are available for purchase, please no BYOB; Porky Pete’s is onsite and has options for dinner or snacks.
