This weekend in Newport, RI

Now in its eleventh year, the Crafting for Critters Fall Bazaar features an outdoor marketplace filled with more than 70 local makers and their handmade creations. Browse fine art, jewelry, crafts, accessories, apparel, home decor, stained glass, baked treats, candies, jams and jellies, books, pet gear and dog treats, along with plenty of festive finds for the fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. Admission and parking are free, and food trucks will be on site. Presented by Friends of the Warwick Animal Shelter, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, event proceeds support homeless cats and dogs at the shelter and help them toward a new home. Artisans interested in participating can request an application by emailing Audrey, the event director, at fowas.crafts@gmail.com or by sending a private message through the event page. Include a full name, email address and a description of handmade items, as only original work is accepted with no resellers. Completed applications must include payment to be considered, and payment is by check only, not credit cards or online services such as Venmo or PayPal.

Enjoy a laid-back lunch in a scenic setting where well-behaved dogs are welcome. Guests can savor delicious food while pups explore, relax, and take in a pet-friendly atmosphere. The menu also features specials made just for dogs. It is a friendly, low-key outing with opportunities for four-legged companions to socialize and make new pals alongside their humans.
