  6. Thank you for including the Slater Park Fall Festival.
    But just a reminder that SPFF is but one of about 30 events that will happen in Pawtucket during one of the largest art festivals in the country.
    The multi week “Pawtucket Arts Festival” now in its 17th year has grown into one of the broadest blend of the diversity and creativity that make RI great.
    Join us for one or a dozen of the 30 events, performances, and open studios that take place during the six weeks.
