It’s our favorite time of year!
Every Tuesday, from 3 – 6pm, the Downtown Providence Parks Conservancy and FarmFreshRI are bringing a selection of local farmers and producers to Washington Street for the Downtown Farmer’s Market. Stop by on your way home from work to pick up delicious veggies for super summery meals.
Today, kids as well as adults are in for a special treat. Starting at 3pm, the little ones learn about world instruments while finger painting with Heidi. At 5pm, Sidy Maiga of Afrimanding will be hosting an open drum circle.
