This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave everything ❤️
Whether you’re gathering with loved ones, enjoying the day, or spending time downtown, we invite you to pause and reflect on the meaning behind the day.
Our parks are open, our city is alive, and we’re grateful to share it with you.

The Providence River is one of the best playgrounds in the city 🌊
Paddle at your own pace, kick back on a guided cruise, or float through downtown in old-world style—there’s truly something for everyone.
Even better: Coastal Resources Management Council and The Nature Conservancy are actively clearing decades of debris near the Point Street Bridge, making way for cleaner, safer, and more beautiful waters ahead.
✨ Go full Venice-mode with La Gondola
🚤 Cruise the city with Providence River Boat Company
🛶 Grab a paddle with Ocean State Kayak
Your next downtown adventure starts on the water.

Loved the chalk art festival @providencerink on Saturday!
If we had a vote, we’d give the top prize to @pvdrec for this masterpiece from an artist who said he’d never used chalk before?! 🏆
**update: he won!!
