    This Saturday it's the 17th year for the Foo Fest run by AS220 in Providence. We're late to the party for this but did check it out last year and it was a perfectly run event. They block off a street and charge about $5 and have two bands going all day (one inside and one outside). There's plenty of food vendors. It's a great chance to check out the downtown and some Providence music. The FOO FEST WEBSITE.
