Warwick’s quahogging heritage will be celebrated with chowder and stuffies, a visit from the Steamship Historical Society of America, and a concert by Chicago singer-songwriter Michael Smith. The event is the Fourth Annual Quahoggers Jamboree at Warwick Public Library on Wednesday, June 24.

The festivities begin at 5 p.m. Visitors will have the chance to tour Warwick fisherman Jody King’s quahogging boat, visit the Poppy’s Gourmet concession tent to buy kettle corn and lemonade and sample a Dockside Seafood Marketplace stuffie and cup of red or white chowder for $3. “Clamcake Summer” and “Stuffie Summer” author David Norton Stone will be in attendance and there will be a selection of local artisan wares at the Made From RI table.

At 5:15, hear how Narragansett Bay inspires illustrator and children’s book author Seth McCombs’ writing and art. At 5:45, learn what a day of fishing on the Bay is like for Warwick quahogger Dave Ghigliotty. At 6:15, discover which steamships were typically seen on the Bay in a talk by researcher Astrid Drew from the Steamship Historical Society of America.

At 7, acclaimed Chicago singer-songwriter Michael Smith takes the stage. Famous for his song “The Dutchman,” Michael is a master of musical storytelling who ranges from keen character studies to rousing comedic romps. Enjoy dazzling tunes tinged with folk, jazz, rock, and pop and influenced by greats such as Duke Ellington, The Beatles, and John Prine.
