All guests must start at the registration center, AS220, 115 Empire Street, where they will pick up tour programs featuring maps and suggested itineraries. From there, guests are encouraged to walk or bike the self-guided route at their own pace, but free shuttle service and pedicab rides will also be provided.

The organizers have collaborated on four previous tours, most recently in fall 2015. They typically attract a broad mix of people who are interested in moving downtown and others who simply want to experience the neighborhood’s transformation up close. The tour takes place rain or shine, and tickets can be purchased in advance for $7 at downtownprovidence.com or on-site at AS220 during the tour for $10. Proceeds will benefit the Downtown Providence Parks Conservancy’s restoration of the Soldiers & Sailors Monument in Kennedy Plaza.

The Downtown Providence Living Tour is sponsored by The Providence Foundation, the Providence Downtown Improvement District, and participating properties, with additional support from The Providence Tourism Council, ASH NYC, CORT Furniture, Craftland, The Dean Hotel, the Downtown Neighborhood Association, Mott & Chace, New Harvest Coffee Roasters, Regency Plaza, Rosalina, and Studio MEJA.
