Jane’s Walk: An Elmwood Stroll

Explore Providence neighborhoods on foot with Jane’s Walk, a global walking festival on May 3-5, inspired by urban activist Jane Jacobs. These interactive walks are led by local residents and community activists who get people thinking, talking, and connecting with each other. Jane’s Walks are free and anyone can participate! Wear comfortable shoes, meet your walk leader in the designated meeting spot, and get ready for a lively discussion. Walks take place rain or shine.
