June 11-14, 2020
The Creative Capital comes alive for a free four-day festival
that celebrates artists from all corners of the globe.
Every June, Mayor Jorge O. Elorza, Providence Art, Culture + Tourism, and founding partner FirstWorks collaborate to host PVDFest, Providence’s signature summer festival. From June 11 – June 14, 2020, the City’s world-renowned creative and culinary communities will join forces with artists and musicians from all corners of the globe to deliver a once in a lifetime experience. Live music, dance, food, and visual art installations transform the Creative Capital into a four-day takeover of public spaces, parks, and outdoor stages in the heart of Providence, Rhode Island.
While most of our open-calls for participants are closed, there are still ways to get involved in the PVDFest magic:

Artists will be set up on Westminster Street between Dorrance Street and the Turks Head building and on Dorrance Street at the intersection. Come browse the best in local goods from all over New England curated by Craftland.
Food
Live music, dance, food, and visual art installations transform the city in a four-day, multi-arts take-over of public spaces, parks, and outdoor stages in the heart of Providence, Rhode Island.
