City of Pawtucket presents
PAWTUCKET
A Different Perspective
A Message to the Residents and Taxpayers of the City of Pawtucket
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
The time has come again to turn the page from 2015 to a new calendar year. As
we start 2016, my family and I would like to wish you nothing but the best for this
upcoming year. A new year always gives us the opportunity to reflect on the past,
dream of the future, and this year should be no different.
As I look back over the years, I am reminded of how much we have
accomplished together and how proud I am of those accomplishments.
This past year we have seen major improvements to the infrastructure of
our city. We are approaching the end of this season’s ambitious road-paving
program, which, when completed, will have seen nearly thirty miles of city streets
and roads repaved. In addition, thanks to voters who passed all of the bond
referenda this past November, we will be making some important infrastructure
improvements to our schools, parks, public buildings and bridges during the next
two years. All of these improvements are targeted toward improving the quality
of life of our residents while building a strong foundation for future growth as we
continue to build our bridge to progress.
Over the years, the City has and will continue to aggressively recruit new
businesses to Pawtucket. We recently welcomed Pet Food Experts to our
business community. They have relocated their corporate headquarters and
added over 80 jobs at 175 Main Street in the heart of Pawtucket’s downtown.
Additionally, Peregrine Group has announced plans for significant mixed-use
development on the riverfront property located on Division Street. The plan
calls for commercial, retail and residential property, along with ample surface
parking, on one of the most beautiful and unique parcels of land in Pawtucket.
A little further down the river, the newly revitalized Festival Pier is receiving
well-deserved accolades for the renovation it underwent. Lastly, I am pleased
to welcome Isle Brewers Guild to our downtown. This craft beer cooperative is
bringing multiple craft brewers to our downtown, including Narragansett Beer,
which is making a return to Rhode Island. Pawtucket is now home to multiple
breweries and is becoming a real hub for breweries in the region.
This year we also adopted a new city logo and slogan for Pawtucket – Join the
Evolution. The new logo and slogan blends Pawtucket’s industrial and riverfront
roots with a modern and colorful rendering to reflect the city’s current creative
and entrepreneurial evolution. It is a call to action.
Thanks to our generous sponsors, I am, once again, pleased to present you
with the annual city calendar. You will find a wealth of information on scheduled
events, information on your local officials and the many services available to you.
I urge you to visit these sponsors and to thank
them for their commitment to the calendar and
our city.
I wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2016.
More importantly, I want you to be proud of the
city that we all call home. Join the Evolution!
Sincerely,
Mayor Donald R. Grebien

Your Official Guide
to Experiencing Pawtucket
Pawtucket is not only an outstanding community in which to live and work but also a great
place to play and to be entertained.
From Chinese dragon boats to championship Triple-A baseball, handcrafted jewelry
exhibitors to live music in numerous genres,
plus historical attractions, three critically acclaimed theater companies and top-notch
recreational facilities, Pawtucket’s your ticket
for a day of fun or a night on the town.
There’s also year-round ice skating at the
Blackstone Valley Sports Center, 25 Andrew
Ferland Way, eye-opening exhibitions at the
Rhode Island Water Color Society in Slater
Memorial Park on Newport Avenue, where its
435 acres also offer a great place to take a
stroll. In addition the Rhode Island Music Hall
of Fame at Hope Artiste Village was recently
named the “Top Museum Worth Traveling
For” in Rhode Island.
Or you can satisfy your palate at one of the
city’s many fine restaurants, from vegetarian
and numerous ethnic varieties to down-home
cooking at a historic diner. The enjoyment is
here, all year round, just waiting for you and
the whole family to enjoy.
The city’s annual marquee event is the Pawtucket Arts Festival, which holds sway in the
downtown and Festival Pier riverfront areas
from the last weekend in August spanning the
entire month of September, with a dizzying
array of events, most at no charge and also
with free parking.
Building on a Proud History
of Innovation
Discover how a young industrialist who left
England to launch a water-powered cotton
mill in Pawtucket changed the world forever.
More than 200 years ago, Samuel Slater
had an idea. He built a wooden clapboard
structure the size of a large garage and
installed some machinery. Then he tapped
the hydropower of both the Blackstone River
and Pawtucket Falls. The result: For the first
time in this country, cotton thread was spun
by machine instead of by hand.
Visit Slater Mill (www.slatermill.org) located
in one of America’s newest national parks.
The museum complex at 67 Roosevelt
Avenue offers a fascinating tribute to Samuel
Slater and the industrial innovations he began
in America. You will get an authentic glimpse
of life in a 19th century industrial village, with
guides and re-enactors in traditional garb.
Touring Slater Mill will bring you back to the
early 1800s. At the adjacent Sylvanus Brown
House (1758), you can witness demonstrations of hand spinning and weaving or watch
a 16,000 lb. water wheel – the only one of its
kind in the country – power the machine shop
in the 1810 Wilkinson Mill. You can also enjoy
exhibits of 19th and 20th century machinery,
plus actual productions from an early textile
factory and relive the evolution from handcrafting to machine production.
Just a couple of miles down the road, tour
the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame at 1005
Main Street (www.rhodeislandmusichalloffame.com) in the vast Hope Artiste Village
mill complex with its dozens of resident
artisans, designers and entrepreneurs to see
informative inductee exhibits celebrating
Rhode Island’s great musical heritage. This
unique attraction promoting the state’s musical heritage was named the Ocean State’s
“Top Museum Worth Traveling For” by www.
flipkey.com, a vacation rental website that’s
part of the travel site TripAdvisor. While you’re
at Hope Artiste Village, be sure to stop by
New Harvest Coffee Roasters, where roaster
Eric Lepine was named a winner of the 2014
Coastal New England Rising Stars Award from
StarChefs.com.
renovated commercial buildings and mills:
printmakers, glass blowers, silversmiths,
visual artists, graphic designers, leather workers, jewelry designers, photographers, screen
printers, dance studios and others. Artists
known the world over have their workplaces
in Pawtucket. Some of the city’s famous
artists include glass artist Howard Ben Tré,
interior designer Morris Nathanson and artist
Gretchen Dow Simpson, whose work has
graced 58 covers of The New Yorker magazine.
Pawtucket Arts Festival
The Pawtucket Arts Festival (www.pawtucketartsfestival.org), in its 18th year, features
hundreds of artists showcasing their arts and
crafts, along with dozens of other attractions highlighting the visual, musical and
performing arts. A statewide photography
contest, film festival, juried art show and
open studios tours of artist live/work spaces
in mills throughout the city, along with plays
performed by local theaters, are among the
many offerings. Almost every color of the musical rainbow can be heard, including salsa,
jazz, zydeco, doo-wop, blues, Irish, folk, pop
and classical.
One of New England’s largest festivals brings
thousands of spectators to Festival Pier for
the Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boat Races
& Taiwan Day Festival, featuring spirited races
on the Pawtucket River and folk dancing and
traditional music along the pier. The Festival’s
crowning event each year is the always much
anticipated appearance of the Rhode Island
Philharmonic Orchestra performing their Pops
in the Park concert at Slater Memorial Park,
capped by a dazzling fireworks display.
On the Waterfront
Enjoy recreational water activities at the city’s
boat ramp, dock and fishing areas below the
Division Street Bridge. You can launch your
small boat and make your way down river
to beautiful Narragansett Bay. The city has
completed a Comprehensive Plan to upgrade
the Festival Pier area for the enjoyment of
residents and guests alike.
In Pawtucket’s downtown there’s the Riverfront Summer Concert Series, which features
great music every Sunday during the summer. Blues, swing, jazz and Dixieland fill the
air at the Veterans Memorial Amphitheatre
next to the City Hall complex on Exchange
Street. The Slater Park Summer Concert
Series brightens the summer season, including a wealth of programming geared towards
children and families.
Full Recreational Facilities
Slater Memorial Park is much more than
a venue for music or a leisurely walk. The
park features tennis and basketball courts, a
Arts and Entertainment District
Pay no sales tax on original artwork produced
and sold by hundreds of Pawtucket’s artists
in their own studios or showcased in the
city’s numerous art galleries. More than 60
Pawtucket streets are located within this
307-acre zone, which wraps itself around the
historic Slater Mill site and the downtown
area. Or take a short hop to the Rhode Island
Antiques Mall at 345 Fountain Street, visible
from I-95, which twice Oscar-nominated,
Rhode Island-born actor and antiques
aficionado James Woods has been known to

bike path, fishing, picnic sites, paddle boats,
a dog park, plus a very special attraction:
the Charles I. D. Looff Carousel, the oldest
stander carousel in the world. Across from
the carousel, enjoy the creative exhibits at the
Rhode Island Water Color Society. Be sure to
stroll over to the nearby Daggett House, the
oldest house in Pawtucket and one of the
oldest remaining buildings in Rhode Island.
Constructed in 1685, the house is furnished
with period antiquities, including needlework,
Colonial pewter used during the Revolutionary War and china owned by the family of
General Nathanael Greene.
On Center Stage
Musical comedies, Shakespeare and dramas
presented just “as you like it” are performed
by three resident Pawtucket theater troupes.
The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (www.
gammtheatre.org), 172 Exchange Street,
describes its mission as creating “the finest of live theater, engaging the audience
intensely in current and recurrent issues of
consequence.” This theater was founded in
1984 and relocated to Pawtucket in 2003.
The Community Players (www.thecommunityplayers.org), established in 1921 and the
oldest community theater group in Rhode
Island, fills the seats at the Joseph Jenks

Street, across from McCoy Stadium. Since
its founding in 2000 by Ricardo and Bernadet Pitts-Wiley, Mixed Magic Theatre (www.
mmtri.com), newly relocated to 560 Mineral
Spring Avenue, has brought diverse stories to
the stage through words and song from wellknown dramas to original productions.
Live music, as it has for decades, continues
to find a welcome home in Pawtucket. Stone
Soup Coffeehouse, one of New England’s
oldest coffee houses, brings nationally recognized folk singers to its new home at Slater

contemporary music at The Met, 1005 Main
Street, or visit Machines with Magnets, 400

in 1894 and listed on the National Register
of Historic Places, also has office space for
cultural nonprofits.

McCoy remains the site of the longest game
ever played in professional baseball history,
lasting 33 innings. The Pawtucket-based

tourist stops, offers affordable fun for the
whole family. For a listing of home games, go

Community-Sponsored Activities

Exchange Street (adjacent The Gamm Theatre), has been transformed into a community
meeting place. Once a year the Foundry Artists Association hosts their December holiday

of shoppers into the City’s historic downtown.

to assure participation by some of the major
