The Upper Elmwood Historic District boasts a rare collection of opulent architecture from Providence’s greatest industrial growth period in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. New this year will be lunch options representing aspects of the neighborhood’s rich cultural diversity. The Festival is also timed with the city’s third annual PVD Fest, creating a robust art and architecture experience for weekend visitors and residents alike.
