PVDFest

Last year, Downcity turned into a full on party as artists descended on our fair city for what organizers are hoping will become our own take on SXSW. This year, the newly branded PVDFest looks to continue in that bold quest by inviting a world of musicians and performers back to the Creative Capital. The Afro-Cuban All Stars will be here to celebrate the sounds of 1950s Cuba, and the Netherland’s Close-Act Theatre will have three 18-foot dinosaurs stomping through downtown. But what has us most excited is the amazing local talent on display. Case in point, the One Providence Experience happening on June 4. See Low Anthem, What Cheer? Brigade, Last Good Tooth and other PVD performers in the shadow of the ruins of the Providence National Bank. June 2-5, Downtown Providence. PVDFest.com
