Story Hour

Wednesdays at 4:00, starting June 22. It’s that time again! Brown Street Park welcomes all to join the Athenaeum Story and Craft Hour in the cool of the afternoon. Meet Lindsay under the trees for lively stories and simple craft activities every Wednesday through the summer. If the weather looks poor please call Lindsay at 421-6970

Halloween Party

Monday, October 31st, from 4p – 5:30pm. Angels and devils, villains and superheroes -- all are welcome at the 5th annual Fiends of Brown Street Park Children’s Halloween Party and Parade.

Kids can join in on the ghoulish games, creepy crafts and demented decorating projects, while filling up on pizza and healthy snacks. At 5p, jump in as one of our favorite marching bands honks, blasts and bangs their way along a neighborhood parade route. Consider it a wholesome warm-up to the night’s main event.

Please contact wendy@friendsofbrownstreetpark if you have scary skills you’d like to volunteer.

Sponsored by “Fiends” of Brown Street Park, Mt Hope YMCA, Crossfit Providence and Whole Foods University Heights, and Providence Atheneaum.

Free, but donations are always nice!
