Rain Harvest Festival

Sunday, September 28, 11 AM – 2 PM
Roger Williams Park Botanical Center Pavilion
Presented by the Stormwater Innovation Center

The Rain Harvest Festival is a free community event in Roger Williams Park celebrating art, music, and the importance of clean water in our communities. The event celebrates the Providence Parks Department’s investment in over 40 projects to clean polluted stormwater runoff before it enters the Roger Williams Park pond system, as well as the efforts of many Rhode Island organizations to improve water quality and natural systems in our communities. The Festival is made possible through our sponsors and partners, the Providence Parks Department, and the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT).

As the seasons begin to change, it's a great time to reconnect with the natural world and slow down. We're excited to partner with the @rwpbotanicalcenter to offer a free Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) session on September 19 at 10 AM with Lee Ann. This guided experience invites you to breathe deeply, notice your surroundings, and open your senses to the sights, sounds, textures, and rhythms of the forest. 

Lee Ann Freitas is the director of the Botanical Center and a Certified Forest Therapist, horticulturist, and a hardcore advocate for all things nature. She creates a welcoming and peaceful environment for participants to slow down, connect with nature, and be present.

The session is free, but registration is limited – sign up online (link in bio)!
