Gain a new perspective on neighborhoods around the city during Jane’s Walk, a global weekend festival inspired by urban activist Jane Jacobs on May 6-8. Eleven walks are already planned in Providence throughout the weekend, starting from different locations at staggered times. http://janeswalk.org/united-states/providence/ Unlike typical guided tours, these FREE citizen-led walks encourage community conversations to get people thinking, talking, and connecting with each other.
