InDowncity Block Party - CANCELLED

Update: We’re super bummed to say it: in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and CDC guidelines for events, the InDowncity Block Party on Saturday, May 2 is cancelled.

The Rock and Roll Yard Sale component (offering vinyl, vintage and handmade goods) will hopefully be rescheduled later in the year. Follow Providence Rock And Roll Yard Sale for updates on that.

We’ll certainly miss celebrating in the streets with you all this spring, but here are a few things you can do in the spirit of community building:

💙 Support our small businesses downtown through takeout orders, online purchases, gift cards, etc. And show up when they fully reopen!

💙 Support the vendors that we had lined up for the event (see list in the event description)!

Stay safe and healthy, Providence! We love you.

The countdown is on! Join us for the 9th annual Indowncitypvd Block Party as we kick off spring with amazing food, drinks and music! Find the action on Westminster Street between Dorrance and Mathewson streets.

DJ Studebaker Hawk will keep you groovin' as you stroll Westminster Street. Don't miss:

🌀DIY flower crowns with Blooming Artisan!
🌀Face painting with Art on the Spot!
🌀Free kids' activities!
🌀Special happenings at your favorite downtown shops!
🌀Open skate with Civil Providence, including boxes, rails and more!

PLUS, the Providence Rock And Roll Yard Sale returns to the Grant's Block parking lot with 45+ expertly curated vendors selling vinyl records, vintage finds and handmade goods.

This event is FREE, family friendly, and takes place rain or shine. Dog friendly for friendly dogs!
