Did you know the Sun has shone on our world for four and a half billion years?  It is our nearest star and our planet’s powerhouse, the source of the energy that drives our winds, our weather and all life. The passage of the Sun’s fiery disc across the sky — day by day, month by month — was the only way to keep track of time for countless past civilizations.  Discover the secrets of our star and its impacts on Earth in this FREE planetarium show.

Online pre-registration is required as seating is limited. This program is recommended for children ages 4 and older. For safety reasons, planetarium ticketholders are not permitted to enter the Planetarium once the show has begun.

Thank you, RWP family!!! We may not have reached our goal, but all of you got us to over $7,000 – more than twice as much as last year! 🌳🎉

Whether you donated, shared our page with friends, liked our posts, or sent good vibes our way, we appreciate your support and investment in the People`s Park! A gift to Roger Williams Park Conservancy builds and strengthens social and civic connections in a public green space we all share and steward.

With @pvdparks and our Park partners, we can`t wait to show you another year of programming, community-building, and fun! 🌞

If you donated $100 or more, watch your email over the next week for an invite to a party celebrating you at the @rwpboathousecafe! 🥂
