The Weekly: 4/2/26 Guide to Downtown Providence
Here’s the gist: 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.

4/2: GIFT HORSE SCREENS PREMIERE OF THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF RHODE ISLAND
Are you ready for the drama to unfold on screen? The Real Housewives of Rhode Island premieres today and we cannot wait. If you want to watch it all go down while sipping martinis and cosmos and munching on caviar and fries, we have just the thing: Gift Horse is hosting a screening on Thursday, April 2 at 9 pm. Walk-ins are welcome, but seating is limited so make sure to arrive early and grab dinner.
Gift Horse is an award winning raw bar and restaurant located on Westminster Street in downtown Providence and we highly recommend ordering a few dozen oysters to really kick things off!
4/4: OBERLIN HOSTS SECOND ANNUAL COMMUNITY BAKE SALE
Oberlin is hosting their second annual Providence Community Bake Sale this very weekend! On Saturday, April 4 from 11 am to 2 pm, head to 266 Westminster Street downtown to purchase delicious treats and support local nonprofits. Not only will Oberlin sell their own baked goods, but they’ll be joined by other businesses such as New Rivers, Irregardless, There, There, Oak Bakeshop, Little City, and more.
The proceeds of the sale go to Amos House and Dorcas International. Last year the sale sold out within the first few hours, so make sure to head there early! Find all the details right here.
