Join a celebration of water, science, and art at the fifth annual Rain Harvest Festival hosted by the Stormwater Innovation Center and Providence Parks Department. This free community event in Roger Williams Park celebrates the Providence Parks Department’s investment in over 40 projects to clean polluted stormwater runoff before it enters the ponds in the park. Their significant efforts to improve water quality in Providence have inspired the Festival, which will highlight the importance of clean water in our communities and the impact it has on our lives.
