In Providence, there’s always something interesting going on! And we understand how challenging it can be to wade through all the happenings and decide what events to attend, where to eat, and what to shop for. That’s why we’re here to share the top things we’re excited about in the coming week in each installment of “The Weekly.” Each week, we’ll rant and rave unabashedly about just a slice of the food, fun, and fantastic items that we’re currently obsessed with in downtown Providence, RI.

JEPHRY FLORAL STUDIO RELOCATION TO DOWNTOWN ANNOUNCED
We’re always thrilled to hear about a new business opening in our downtown Providence, RI neighborhood! So how about the relocation and reopening of a well-known PVD business? We just broke the news yesterday (June 9) that Jephry Floral Studio will soon relocate and reopen in downtown Providence.
In a move from their previous location in the West End neighborhood of Providence, Jephry Floral Studio will relocate to 326 Westminster Street in the historic Kinsley Building in downtown Providence during Summer 2025. The floral studio is known and loved in our community and has been in business for over 26 years.
SAVE THE DATE: TWO WEEKS UNTIL MOVIES ON THE BLOCK “MERMAIDS”
We had such a fun time when we kicked off the return of Movies on the Block a few weeks ago! Thank you to everyone who came out to our first free outdoor film screening of the summer. Here on out, join us at Grant’s Block Park in downtown Providence, RI one Thursday a month from June to September. The next screening is Thursday, July 24, 2025 with the film “Mermaids.”
This classic 90’s film—featuring Cher and Winona Ryder—will show between sunset and dusk. Seating at Movies on the Block is not provided so bring a beach chair or picnic blanket and show up early to save your spot! Bring a picnic dinner or purchase food to-go from the surrounding small businesses. P.s. Please leave the pets at home!
