(8.8) Providence’s internationally famous marching band the What Cheer? Brigade takes over Burnside Park and gets everyone moving. How to describe the What Cheer! Brigade? In their words:
The What Cheer? Brigade is a 19-piece brass band from Providence, RI. Very loud. You’ll dance.
You will dance. Music starts at 5:30pm. Special opening performance by T. Rex Smash. (Facebook event.)
Every Thursday during July and August Burnside Park is transformed. The Trinity Brewhouse Beer Garden opens at 4:30 and live music starts around 5:30. DJ Justin Case spins tunes before the live performance starts. Each week different food vendors will be parked along Washington Street. Buy a snack to go with your beer.
Next up on August 15: The Quahogs.
