Providence Area Events This Weekend

Welcome to our GoProvidence Weekend Roundup with everything to do and see in PVD this weekend.

Grab the kids and travel back in time to the Jurassic, Triassic and Cretaceous Periods as Jurassic Quest roars into the Rhode Island Convention Center. Walk among the dinosaurs, dig for fossils and even meet a cute baby dino or two!

Get a head start on your holiday shopping at two great events this weekend. The Annual Fine Furnishings Holiday Mart runs all weekend at the WaterFire Arts Center with artists and vendors offering a range of art, gifts, natural products and more. And don't miss the opening of the 120th Annual Little Pictures Show & Sale at the Providence Art Club on Sunday, featuring more than 700 original artworks sized 16" x 16" or less. Take home an original for yourself or as a unique gift.

Splendor of Florence Presents - Sott'Acqua: A Tale of Two Cities kicks off Saturday for two weeks of arts programming designed to engage the public in meaningful dialogue about climate change and how it affects our communities. With events focusing on everything from art restoration and film screenings to a touch tank and Tuscan dining specials, there's something for all ages and interests. Take a boat tour or even experience the Splendor of Italian Opera with singers from the Academy of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra.

Sports fans, check out the Providence Bruins Marvel Super Hero Weekend, featuring costume contests, themed jerseys and photo ops with characters on the concourse. Keep your eyes peeled for everyone's favorite web-slinger, Spiderman. Or watch the Providence College Friars take on Stonehill on Saturday in NCAA Division I men's basketball.
