Thank you for a magical Rosé in the Roses!

On June 11, 2026, park patrons, advocates, elected officials, philanthropic leaders, local business owners, friends and neighbors gathered for an unforgettable evening in support of our city’s signature public space. 

Rosé in the Roses, the Conservancy’s biggest fundraiser event, curated an unmatched garden party experience in Providence. Guests sipped wine while mingling with friends new and old, and savored succulent bites from Russell Morin Catering and delicious French macarons from Ellie’s Bakery. The Roger Williams Park Botanical Garden greenhouses and blooming Rose Maze (with goats also on site) created a backdrop for an evening filled with serene music, mahjong with instruction from the Gilded Birds, and a parade with the Providence Drum Troupe, all while celebrating community and honoring outgoing Board Chair Joe Pari. The event raised $14,000 for free community programming and the continued stewardship of Roger Williams Park!
Sponsorship acknowledgment for various organizations and individuals, including Park Hero and Community sponsors.
