Nothing like St. Patrick’s Day in Providence! 🍀

Seeing our communities shut down the city and come together to celebrate is what it’s all about!

Huge thanks to every single person who helps this parade become a reality year after year, everyone who marched, everyone who cheered, and everyone who just enjoyed a beautiful afternoon in our amazing city 🙌

Same time next year? See you there!

Get ready to turn the streets green with us at the Providence St. Patrick’s Day Parade ☘️

The 02908 Merchant’s Collective is coming together in a big way this year, and we want you to be part of it!

As one of the biggest events of the year in the 02908 zip code, the parade brings incredible energy, foot traffic, and visibility to our neighborhood.

This is your chance to show up, show off your business, and celebrate alongside thousands of community members who love supporting local.

Want to participate with us?
✨ March with us as part of the Collective
✨ Volunteer at our table along the parade route
✨ Hand out branded goodies and giveaways that represent your business (we’ll have some too!)

Whether you’re tossing out swag, walking the route, or connecting with neighbors at our table, this is a fun, high-visibility way to put your business front and center, while standing united with other local owners and representatives.

The stronger our collective presence, the more impact we can make, not just during the parade, but all year long as we continue to invest in and give back to our community.

And because we believe in mixing business with a little fun… we’ll be heading to on after the parade for drinks, bites, and a well-earned hang🍻

If you’re interested in participating, fill out the form at the02908.com/meetingsandevents and join us in making this the most spirited Merchant’s Collective showing yet!

Let’s show Providence what our neighborhood is all about. 💚🍀

We’re officially welcoming .ri to the 02908 Merchant’s Collective! 🍋

If you haven’t tried their lemonade, you really got to get on it! As a Latino-owned, family-run business, they’re bringing handcrafted lemonades inspired by their roots to events all around the state.

We’re talking delicious, refreshing flavors like coconut, peach, mango, and SO many more, all made with freshly squeezed lemons and real sugar.
