Monday Essentials: Victory Day, Phoebe Madden & Photo Workshop

Your guide for life in East Greenwich this week.

On Monday,

Victory Day Holiday: It's not a day off for me, but for much of the state, this is a much-coveted Monday holiday! Trash pickup will be delayed one day all week.

EG Farmers Market: The market, with fresh vegetables and fruits; locally raised beef, pork, poultry and seafood; baked goods and prepared foods, is a great place to pick up food for the week, visit with friends and neighbors and let the kids run around. On the Rector Street side of Academy Field. From 3 to 6 p.m.

Yard Sale: It may be Monday, but there’s a yard sale today because it’s also Victory Day! But you have to be willing to leave town (!) – the sale takes place in Oakland Beach in Warwick. You’ll find details here.

Torat Yisrael open house: East Greenwich’s first-ever temple, which opened in the spring, is inviting the public to visit their brand-new digs all week long.
