Meet near the Park’s picnic area on Maple and Pine Avenues (map)

Families are invited to join a FREE Lantern Walk, presented in partnership with Tinkergarten and hosted by the Roger Williams Park Conservancy.

Families will gather before dusk, light lanterns,* and enjoy an outdoor walk in the park. The Lantern Walk is designed to help kids big and small welcome and see the beauty in the darkness of the end of Daylight Savings time (aka “Fall back”) and embrace the transition to winter. Bundle up and bring a lantern or flashlight and your spirit of adventure! Click here to read more about the event.

Please pre-register through Tinkergarten’s website.

*NOTE: Lanterns must be battery operated; no fire/flames allowed. If you’d like to make your own lantern, see instructions here.

From family picnics in the Rose Garden and concerts at the Bandstand to seeing the cherry blossoms bloom in the Japanese Garden every spring and sled-riding in the winter, Roger Williams Park is the backdrop of so many memories year-round, and even more opportunities to escape into nature, connect with neighbors, and attend events in the future! 🌸☃️🍂🌳

With your continued support this #GivingTuesday2025, and collaborating with @pvdparks , we can’t wait to offer even more free family-friendly programming, make accessibility upgrades and restorations of historic structures, steward critical green spaces, and more in 2026.

#GivingTuesday2025 is just around the corner, and we get it – there are so many wonderful local nonprofits seeking support this time of year!

Why include Roger Williams Park Conservancy in your giving plan? 

Behind the more than 50 free and low-cost programs hosted every year, the restoration of beloved historic structures still playing a role in the community today, and the expansive green spaces and waterways sustaining humans and wildlife alike, there are crucial partnerships and much hard work that goes into stewarding Roger Williams Park.

As Board Member Chris Lanen shares – and so many families can relate to! – "the Park provides [a] retreat into nature. Individually, it gives me a place to exercise and decompress. As a parent, it gives my child a magical place to play, explore, and learn throughout the year.”

Find the link to donate in our bio, with options for one-time or recurring gifts!
To all those celebrating, happy Thanksgiving from RWPC! Don’t forget: our trails and paths are always available for a rejuvenating post-feast walk! 🍂

We would love to hear what you’re thankful for about Roger Williams Park – is it a favorite piece of architecture or a serene place to retreat into nature? A favorite event or family outing that’s become a tradition? Let us know!
