We all can agree, backyard BBQs are sure to have a Bocce game going on and it’s always fun. So why not join The Providence Downcity Bocce League and enjoy playing every week! They meet weekly for evening matches at the Bocce court in Grant’s Block. Teams range in skill level, so the competition is more light-hearted than cut-throat. The season runs from May to September with matches starting at 5pm and 6pm. Spectators are always welcome so grab your friends and cheer from the sidelines!
