A Summer in Pictures

Downtown Providence Park Conservancy’s Summer Season is drawing to a close and what a season it has been! From our rocking Music Series to our family programming, Providence turned out, and turned out big!

Our programs remain 100% free to the public and are entirely funded through donations to DPPC.  We believe that everyone should have access to arts, culture, and educational programming and have strived to make this a cornerstone of our mission to revitalize Greater Kennedy Plaza.
