Summer Preview – Cooler Because It's Warmer

20 Reasons To Love Summer in PVD

In Providence, life is cooler when it's warmer

Posted

In Providence, summer doesn’t start when the calendar says so; it starts after that first drink out on the Hot Club deck. From there the sky’s the limit, with festivals, outdoor concerts and a general sense of solstice celebration making summer in the city worth the months of torture endured at the hands of winter and an even crueler spring (snow in April? WTF!). Presented here in no particular order are our 20 favorite things about summer in PVD. We’ve all earned every single one of them.
