(9.10) Providence’s free outdoor festival returns, sort of. Our new mayor decided to take a beloved Providence institution, move it to a new time, a new place, and extract all the crazy stuff that made it fun as hell. Now it seems like just another street fair, but it’s still worth checking out I suppose. …
Looks like our new mayor has run the popular PVDFest through the fun-extraction machine. The event has been moved to the weekend of September 8th, moved to the South Water Street WaterFire location, and scheduled to coincide with a WaterFire. Sooooo it’s WaterFire, but more crowded. But wait there’s more: The Mayor has ruled out …

Each year, FirstWorks curates a spectacle for PVDFest that creates indelible memories! Born from a …

(6.4) Events kick off Thursday with a conference, “Making a Lively Experiment” with Christina Bevilacqua, at Aurora. (Everything she does is interesting.) And Thursday night starting at 8pm there’s a free dance party at the Steel Yard. Go to the PVDFest website for the complete schedule. It’s daunting. The festival takes place at several downtown …
