The mystical and magical take over the greenhouses for this family and community event.  This annual event is perfect for old and young alike.  Over 6500 people attend each year to be inspired with these whimsical creations from nature.  Community members bring their handcrafted houses to our Botanical Center to help us create miniature villages where fairies, gnomes and DRAGONS reside.  The houses are hidden among the tropical plants and foliage.  It is a true delight when children find their own creations nestled in a tiny village with other fairy homes.

Featured artists this year include noted Rhode Island painter, Mike Bryce showcasing his Painted Garden and Cat Riker, a fairy home designer and artist.  Additional events include craft workshops, special performances with the Providence Ballet Theater, children’s crafts and activities, and beautiful creations from local artists.

Venue

A friendly heads up to Park-goers: Maple and Pine avenues at Cladastris Avenue are temporarily closed for approximately 4-6 weeks, limiting vehicle access to Park Avenue via FC Greene Memorial Boulevard. 

This temporary closure makes way for boardwalk construction at Cunliff Lake, a public access project that will enhance recreational opportunities at Roger Williams Park!

During this period, traffic will be detoured to park entrance and exit locations at Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue and Elmwood Avenue. Drivers using the Elmwood Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to FC Greene Memorial Boulevard to Linden Avenue to Elmwood Avenue south to Park Avenue east. Those using the Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to Montgomery Avenue to Broad Street south to Warwick Avenue south to Park Avenue west.

Pedestrian and bicycle access will remain open. However, visitors are advised to follow posted signage and respect all barriers, as a crane will be active weekdays from 7AM to 3PM.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the RWP Winter Wonderland this past Saturday! From cookies and hot cocoa to a visit from the big man in red, there was much merry-making to be had! Bundle up and swing by Roger Williams Park any evening this month to see all the twinkling lights. 🎄
