This is NOT the location of the current Oldham Elementary School (on 60 Bart Dr.)


The Festival is a walkable 1/4 mile away from the festival parking lot, however...


There will be a SHUTTLE BUS running from the festival parking lot to the park starting at 11am.  This is an East Providence Parks and Recreation bus so please wear a mask, per RI state requirement.   Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy this free event!

Only cars with a RI registered Handicapped placard may park in the Rose Larisa Parking lot at the south end of the park.  There will be additional handicapped parking spaces allocated for the festival. 


Those who cannot walk the distance from the Oldham School parking lot may be dropped off at this Handicapped lot.  However the car will need to find street parking or park at the festival parking lot. 

Please Respect Residents of the Nearby Riverside Terrace Community

There is no festival parking available on the Terrace, just South of the park.  This is a residential community that does not have additional parking for events. Thank you for your understanding.
