Discover Providence in new and fun way. Our five "You Belong Here" anchors — pink, orange, blue, yellow, and purple — have already been cranked thousands of times since Monday, filling downtown with music, smiles, and vibrancy. This anchor treasure hunt takes you through our downtown public spaces, each one inviting you to explore, dance, and see why you belong here. ⚓ Thank you @ashleyaudreydaily, @audreymcclellan , and @therhodeshow 💙
It’s just the life of a Downtown Parks girl 🌳✨
