(7.2) The Fourth of July fireworks celebration takes place Sunday, July 2nd, at India Point Park. The holiday falls in the middle of the week this year, so treat yourself to a really long weekend.
A musical performance is scheduled to start at 6pm with musician, vocalist, and steel pannist Becky Bass.
Hailing from the beautiful island of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, Becky Bass is a renowned vocalist, steel pannist & actor based in Providence, who comes from a family of Caribbean musical artists. . .
Becky has had the opportunity to open for and perform with many international artists, including Grammy Award-winning vocalist Oumou Sangare, Emmy Award-winning composer/performer Daniel Bernard Roumain, Yellowman, Warrior King, and Wyclef Jean.
And food trucks! And remember, no parking on the highway. And for god’s sake, leave the dog at home.
Compare and contrast: East Providence [postponed to July 5] will be hosting its annual Independence Day Celebration at Pierce Memorial Stadium.
Or . . . McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, [postponed to July 5] 9:20pm (Blount Clam Truck from 5pm to 10pm). Note well:
The stands will not be open for the fireworks display. Attendees should bring their own blankets and lawn chairs to sit on the field. No large bags, coolers or pets will be allowed.
