The Conservancy will be at the Providence Flea to help kick off your holiday shopping. We will be there with info, park materials, t-shirts, art, and more!

The Flea has hosted over 1,000 local vintage vendors and some of the area’s most creative artists, artisans and makers, plus community non-profits, food trucks and carts, and live musicians–activating a tiny parcel of unused 195 District Commission land. The Providence Flea hosts dozens of the area’s best local food trucks, carts and purveyors whose products are locally sourced and homemade, and they keep our Flea patrons and vendors satiated.

The Flea helps the local economy by encouraging Rhode Islanders to “buy local” and support their friends and neighbors who are vending at the Flea.Β  And your support of the Conservancy benefits the park. See you there!

Details

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.
