Warm up your singing voice because this Friday`s Groovin` Summer Movies screening is interactive thanks to karaoke at Carousel Village during Food Truck Friday! Belt it out with Just for Fun Karaoke, and grab a bite from your choice of food trucks, before settling on the Boathouse Lawn to watch Hairspray (2007 version).

Food Truck Friday kicks off at 5 PM this Friday, June 5, and the film starts at dusk, so make an evening of it!

Special thanks to @pvdfilmfestival for making Movies in the Park possible, with support from @providencetourism, @pvdparks, and to @pvd_foodtruckevents and @rwpzoo for hosting Food Truck Friday at Carousel Village!

It was a beautiful day at the @rwpboathousecafe on Thursday! 🌞

Thank you to all of our #401Gives donors and Roger Williams Park Conservancy supporters who came out for our Donor Appreciation Party! It was a wonderful chance to meet and mingle with new supporters and long-time park-lovers alike – and to take a walk to visit our new Conversation Nooks. Thanks to funding from AARP Rhode Island, these groups of 2-3 Adirondack chairs placed around the park encourage connection in the outdoors. Stop by the park`s new best seats in the house next time you`re visiting!

And the Boathouse Cafe has officially reopened for the season! They`re open daily (weather-permitting), serving up gourmet wood grilled pizzas, flatbread sandwiches, and salads, along with beer, wine, and more. 🍻
