Sponsored in part by Providence Tourism Council

PVD World Music returns to Roger Williams Park Boathouse lawn with another series of a captivating blend of traditional and fusion global sounds and dances performed by talented local artists hailing from Providence and throughout New England, representing diverse cultures from around the world.

We warmly invite you to join us at Roger Williams Park as we commemorate another extraordinary year of music and musical traditions that capture the rich fabric of our global community.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our presenting sponsors Roger Williams Park Conservancy and the Providence Parks Department for their continued generosity. PVD World Music Institute is partially supported by the RISCA Expansion program, Papitto Foundation, and Providence Department of Arts, Tourism and Culture.

This series is part of PVD World Music Institute’s commitment to promoting, celebrating, and enriching the musical traditions and arts of African refugees and immigrants in Rhode Island.

We hope to see you there!

Venue

Head over to the Temple to Music next Wednesday, September 30, from 12-2 PM to make art inspired by the beauty of the park! Julie Gearan hosts a free art activity, Slow Looking in Color and Line, with all the supplies provided. All experience levels are welcome!

Thank you to @risca1967 for helping make this event possible!
In August, we took a tour of the Roger Williams Park Produce Donation Garden with garden leaders Kim and Deb to see what they were harvesting! Sponsored by the @rwpbotanicalcenter and run by volunteer @urimastergardeners, this flourishing vegetable garden feeds the community by growing and donating fresh, organic produce to local food banks and kitchens, and serves as public education. 

They’re on track to grow over 3,500 pounds of food this year! 🍅🫑

The resourceful team of volunteers relies on help from the community. Visit the link in bio to learn more and see their wishlist of items ranging from lumber and hardware cloth to tools and supplies.

Stay tuned for part 2! 🌱
Thank you to @ocean_state_ellary for hosting Monday evening gentle yoga sessions these past couple of months, and to everyone who joined us on the lawn outside the Betsey Williams Cottage! As the evenings get cooler, we're ending the season a little early, so we won't be gathering next Monday, September 21. Enjoy the start of autumn! 🍂
Join us this Friday at 10 AM for a Save the Bay cleanup at Roger Williams Park! September means it's International Coastal Cleanup season – you'll be among thousands of participants worldwide collecting and documenting what you pick up to contribute important data on marine (including watershed) debris, while helping beautify your favorite park!

Sign up (link in bio) to be part of the cleanup at the softball fields on September 18!
