(5.4) Grant’s Block doesn’t look like this any more — the movie screen and bocce court are gone, and the building that housed the Aurora is all torn up — but there is still plenty of room for the spring event hosted annually by the Providence Rock and Roll Yard Sale and InDowncity. In the past it has been cinco or taco themed. This year it is the Rock Garden Party complete with rocking and gardening and food and vendors and vinyl, vintage, and DIY stuff.

Food and drink vendors, picnic areas/Plant sale featuring local farms and florists/Gardening tools and tips from area experts/Complimentary kids’ crafts and activities/Music to keep you groovin!

Live music schedule (and in-between-bands music by the What Cheer DJs):

12:30pm — Vulgarrity 2pm — the Low Cards 3:30pm — the Devilfish

The list of vendors and food is too long to include here. Go to the Facebook page for all the details. This event is free, family friendly, and takes place rain or shine.

11am to 6pm, Saturday, May 4, Grant’s Block, 260 Westminster Street, (directions)
