This free family-friendly event and community celebration will bring Halloween to life with crafts, activities, storytelling, and the much-loved Wicked Walk Doors, where trick-or-treaters can knock on decorated doors and be greeted with candy. Costumes are strongly encouraged!

Highlights include:

• At the Museum of Natural History:

o Storytelling with Rhode Island Latino Arts

o Arts and crafts activities

o Exploration of the Museum’s exhibits

• At the Gateway Center:

o Interactive family crafts led by Mini Entrepreneurs of Rhode Island

o Activities designed to inspire young innovators and future entrepreneurs

Wicked Walk Doors will be located here for Trick-or-Treaters

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.
