Tonight, we celebrated the City's annual Pops in the Park by the Rhode Island Philharmonic! This free event is always a great night to celebrate community and music at the iconic Roger Williams Park Temple to Music.
This event was a collaboration between the City of Providence and our community partners - the Rhode Island Foundation, Washington Trust, Providence ACT, Parks Department, Roger Williams Park and KLR.
