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!

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 🥺

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.

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.

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. 💛
Snow storm safety reminder ❄️
Slow down and watch for icy patches
Stick to plowed sidewalks and cleared park paths
Take small, steady steps
Wear boots with good traction
Give yourself extra time
Stay indoors if you can!
Stay safe out there 🤍

Providence… did you miss the Eras Tour? 🎤✨
Turn the crank, make it glow, and step into your daylight 🌞 a downtown full of oversized guitars, pink cowboy boots, giant lipsticks, and sunglasses bigger than your wildest dreams. 👢💄🕶️🎸
It’s the moment I knew, the main character energy, the life of a showgirl vibe you’ve been waiting for. Plan the road trip, grab your friends, and shake it off downtown, because these installations aren’t just art 🫶 they’re a love story between Providence and Swifties everywhere. 💫
So get ready to begin again, snap your photos, tag us, and say: I remember it all too well 🥹
Downtown Providence… welcome to your era. ✨
