i didn’t think i would get the opportunity to keep taking photos in university, but i’m grateful that i was able to as pr officer for ccb. this was one of the photos i took for our ice skating event, which was our second collaboration with the second-year board. still not sure who decided it was a good idea to host a four-hour outdoor event during the winter, but the day was beautiful and i had so much fun! my ankles hurt but the insomnia cookies made it all better. miss my ccbabes very much right now 🥺

Looking for a fun day trip for February Break?
Here are some of the best things to do near Providence, RI
🥞 Start the day with a stop at The Modern Diner (364 East Ave, Pawtucket) for breakfast or brunch (highly recommend the award-winning Custard French Toast)
🗺️ Then head over to The Map Center (545 Pawtucket Ave, Pawtucket) and check out all the cool maps, books, and globes that Andrew has in his store
⛸️ 10 minutes away is the Providence Rink (2 Kennedy Plaza, Providence) where you can rent skates for an afternoon on the ice, and if you book ahead of time you might even get tickets for the ice bumper cars, which looked like a ton of fun!
🍕Providence Coal Fired Pizza came highly recommended for a vibey pizza stop
🍪 and definitely don’t head home before stopping by Insomnia Cookies (259 Weybosset St, Providence) for a treat for the drive home!
Let me know if you try the ice bumper cars!
Have fun!

By 1983, when this photo was taken, the railroads that had dominated the city for over 100 years were clearly past their prime. These overgrown and elevated train tracks would soon be removed and those that remained pushed underground. The tunnel that these elevated tracks led to would be closed and the bridge across the Seekonk River on the other side of the tunnel would be raised for the last time.

Downtown PVD turns up the music and the light on 2.19! #lumina2026
Did you know Providence has its own Festival of Lights? ✨
From February 19 – March 5, downtown transforms into a winter wonderland filled with glowing public art, interactive installations, and reasons to fall in love with the city all over again.
Cold nights, bright lights, and a whole lot of joy — LUMINA 2026 is coming. Save this and start planning who you’re bringing downtown. 💫
Meet Maestro 🎶✨
A set of four giant illuminated musical notes that come to life through human power. Turn the crank, trigger the music, and watch the lights respond as sound and glow build together in real time.
Designed for playful discovery and shared moments, Maestro invites everyone to step in, take a turn, and transform the streetscape into an interactive performance during LUMINA 2026.
Come play. Come connect.
You Belong Here.

Most people walk past it every day without knowing its story.
For more than 200 years, this corner has been known as Turk’s Head — long before street signs, maps, or skyscrapers defined downtown. From a carved wooden figurehead on a ship called the Sultan, to the stone face watching over Westminster and Weybosset today, this building carries Providence’s maritime history, memory, and movement through the city.
What looks like just another tower is really a landmark of identity, wayfinding, and shared civic life. Downtown isn’t just something we pass through — it’s something we inherit, protect, and shape together.

LUMINA 2026 is about JOY. ✨
Joy in the middle of winter.
Joy in public spaces.
Joy in showing up for one another.
This year’s festival is about coming together as a community for something good 🫶 gathering downtown to experience art, light, music, and shared moments that remind us how powerful it is to be together.
For two weeks, Providence becomes a place to linger, laugh, explore, and feel connected. Because joy is worth making space for;
and it’s even better when it’s shared. 💛
