195 District Park is seven-acre urban waterfront park in the heart of Providence’s 195 District that opened in 2019. The park was designated open space as part of the relocation of a portion of Interstate 195 and the creation of the I-195 Redevelopment District. The park serves as a community gathering place and a cornerstone of a growing innovation district, hosting thousands of daily visitors with programming and events throughout the year. The park features two seasonal concessions, an ice cream vendor and a beer garden.
After losing a bidding war to buy its longtime location on South Water Street, the ProvidenceFlea has a new home for its artisan market ahead of the summer season.
The Flea will be relocating just a stone’s throw away to the other side of the Providence River in the 195 District Park.

GM!! I am happy to share with you that this first time children’s book author will be back at providenceflea this Sunday, August 11th from 10-3pm. 🎉🎊📚📚📚
As a newbie in this space, I can say that it isn’t easy, but if you have a desire to do something (in this case, saw a need), do it! I found that black and brown girls weren’t happy about their hair texture. Therefore, I wanted to dispel that. I’ve spent my entire adult life mentoring and building confidence in girls, so this was a no brainer for me.📚
I am going to rest my mind a few days and start on my second book. I have plenty of ideas, but as an indie writer, I’m educating myself as I go.🥰
This wasn’t suppose to be a long post, so come buy books to gift, bless your tummy from the amazing food trucks, and get lost in all the local vintage finds. You won’t regret it!🤣 #stevensstoriescb #thepuffythingbook #pvdflea #indiewriters #kidslit #childrensbooks #hairtexture #authorsofinstagram #providence #195districtpark

Now, his music is featured in the Light Lane installations, on display from February 1-17! Don’t miss this immersive experience—check it out and celebrate Kufa’s incredible artistry.
#ProvidenceArts #KufaCastro #LightLane #AfroLatinx
What an unforgettable experience to come together in the heart of downtown Providence, surrounded by art, music, and the spirit of our community. Lumina was a moment to dance, sing, cheer, and celebrate everything that makes this city feel like home!
We screamed out for the puppets to Pop!, laughed and sang under the lights, and filled the streets with joy. Providence means goodness, connection, and something greater than ourselves, and that feeling was everywhere!
