Kids Day at Armory Market August 15

August 15, 2019

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.

KIDS DAY

Bring the kiddos! It’s fun for the whole family on Kids Day, with extra fun at the farmers market, including:

  BOUNCY HOUSE
Need we say more? This very bouncy favorite is brought to us by Y on the Move!
  TOUCH A TRUCK
What a fun and educational experience thanks to the Providence Fire Department! Kids will have a chance to see, touch, and explore a local fire and rescue vehicle, and meet local rescue personnel. We will also provide plastic helmets for the children that attend.
  FACE PAINTING AND BALLOOONS
Our long-time farmers market friend, Art on the Spot, always brings tons of fun with balloon animals, face painting, and more!
  FOOD TASTING, STORY TIME, COOKING DEMO, 10-YEAR CELEBRATION FUN
The Nutrition Education team is throwing a birthday party for our Healthy Foods, Healthy Families program! Come sample local goodies and enjoy special activities like story-time and decorating a birthday banner that will hang at the Healthy Foods, Healthy Families tent for the rest of the season.
  FUN WITH MUSIC
Beloved farmers market performer, Karen Isenberg will provide musical entertainment with children’s songs and instruments for families to play along!
