The third annual PVDFest is returning for another four days of festivities in downtown Providence. There are so many artists, installations and performances happening, we decided to go through them and highlight five of this year's not-to-miss events.
Bandaloop
June 2 @ 8 p.m. – Kennedy Plaza
June 3 @ 8 p.m. & 10 p.m. – Kennedy Plaza
Make sure you look up when you come to Providence! BANDALOOP, a group of aerial dancers, will be performing their spectacular display of dance on the façades of Providence's skyscrapers. These artists will be joined by local spoken-word artist Christopher Johnson to bring live music and poetry along with their twirling and flipping.
Sowing Place Community Dinner
June 1 @ 5 p.m. – Kennedy Plaza
Moon Market & Super Dance Party
June 2 @ 5 p.m. – The Dean Hotel
Make sure you have your dancing shoes on for this Super Dance Party right outside The Dean. Live music and DJs will be getting you on your feet starting at 5 p.m.
Parade and PVDFest Main Event
June 3 @ 4 p.m. – Washington Street
The PVDFest Parade starts off on Washington Street and ends at Kennedy Plaza for a special performance you won't want to miss. Join in the parade and make some noise by registering to walk here.
En Masse Procession and Performance
June 4 @ 3 p.m. – Cranston Street Armory
En Masse is a large-scale performance by up to 500 different marching bands and musicians from around Rhode Island. This part flash mob, part processional will make you want to join in on the fun.
