ChowdaFest 2022!!!!
Saturday, May 29, 2022 from 3 to 5 PM

We are thrilled to bring back the BIMI ChowdaFest!

Come see us the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Sample the chowdas from 12 local restuarants and help choose this year’s “best chowda” on Block Island. While you sample your chowda and a nice cold drink, enjoy the music and get a sneak peak at our aquariums that open to the general public in June 2022.
