About the PVD Downcity Holiday Market

From Thursday, December 3 to Sunday, December 6, as part of the PVD Holiday Festival, Grant’s Block Park and Westminster Street will transform into an enchanting outdoor marketplace for visitors and residents alike to meet, shop, drink, eat, and support local businesses this season. Take a holiday stroll down Westminster Street in beautiful downtown Providence to discover unique gifts, pop-up entertainment and activities, festive fare, and local artisans.

Each day brings a new curation of vendors, food trucks, and entertainment, and with the PVD Holiday Festival taking over downtown Providence all weekend long, there will be plenty to explore and do. With ice skating at The Providence Rink, pop-up light installations throughout the downtown corridor, the City Hall tree-lighting ceremony, a free visitor’s trolley, and more, the PVD Holiday Festival celebrates community, light, and culture in the heart of Providence.
