Jane’s Walk Providence

An annual festival of free, citizen-led walking conversations

May 4 — May 6, 2018
LOCATIONS ACROSS PROVIDENCE

Inspired by urban activist Jane Jacobs, Jane’s Walk encourages people to get out and explore their neighborhoods. Unlike typical guided tours, these free walks are led by volunteer citizen guides who share knowledge of their own communities while inspiring participants to think, talk, and connect. Providence is one of more than 200 participating cities with Jane’s Walks around the world, and that number grows every year.

.

All Walks are FREE!  |  No Tickets Needed   |   Rain or Shine
