Inside Tour of Downtown Living Today, 11AM-5PM

Come spend the day and rediscover the city you love with a Providence Preservation Society guided tour of recently renovated and restored Downtown commercial buildings and residences. Only a few have been able to get a glimpse and experience the revitalization of Providence, see the “preservation in action”!
After the tour, enjoy music from carolers, ride in a horse-drawn carriage, and have some delicious mulled cider to keep you warm. There will also be activities for kids through the day. Then at 5:45pm join the Mayor for a parade, starting at the Arcade and ending at the front of City Hall for the tree lighting ceremony.
