August 1 at Armory Farmers Market

The Armory Farmers Market is open rain or shine! Join us on Providence’s West End (9 Parade St) for an afternoon treat, or dinner and groceries on your way home from work. Bring the dog! Bring the whole family! Add a little fun to your week 3:30 – 7:00pm (or dusk) — every Thursday through October! #ArmoryMarket is where community gathers in the park.

Beer Garden, The Horse Eyed Men, Kids Activities!

WBNA Westside Thursday Get your Americana on with the disgruntled country-rock-punk sounds of The Horse-Eyed Men — literally a band of two brothers hailing from these local parts — during the WBNA’s West Side Thursdays summer concert series in partnership with the City of Providence. Plus, enjoy ALL the offerings of the Armory Farmers Market including Beer Garden by Troop, food trucks/vendors, rentable bocce ball and chess sets, and more! West Side Thursdays bring neighbors together while showcasing local artists and musicians, and are a great way to let off a little summer steam. 3:30-7pm: Farmers Market! 5:30pm: Featured musical performance by The Horse Eyed Men, PLUS Kids’ Activities with the Providence Children’s Museum! 5-7pm: Revival Brewing Co. Beer Garden, powered by Troop ABOUT THE ARTISTS The HORSE EYED MEN play disgruntled roots and country with new shoots for old bumpkins. One part storytelling, two dashes itchy twang, three times good music to feel bad two, and bardic poems thrown in four boots. A 19th century horse watches His man as he plows deeper into the 21st century. The songs have carried their singers by station wagon, jet plane, and motorcycle side car from the high Prussians of Berlin, Germany to the beautiful hills of Vermont to the Nude American Desert of Texarkansalvanyia to the Newport Folk Festival. The RAIN DATE for this performance is September 19.
