The Heritage Festival is a 3-day outdoor food and music festival now in its 30th year. It is held on the next to the last weekend in July at Pierce Stadium in East Providence, RI. Heritage will celebrate its 30th anniversary in July of 2010 and the festival will be extended to four days-July 15-18. Heritage Festival prides itself on showcasing the arts in a family oriented enviornment. Over the past 28 years it has presented hundreds of artists in all genres of the performing arts. Both our community and our state have been enriched by the festival's cross-cultural platform. This event provides a wonderful opportunity for all age groups to celebrate our own musical heritage as well as to experience in an atmosphere of camaraderie the music, cuisine and artistry of other lands thereby gaining a greater understanding of the common threads that unite us. East Providence Heritage Days, Inc. is a 501(c) (3) public charity.
Funding provided in part by a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, through an appropriation by the Rhode Island General Assembly, a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and private funders.
