Please Note
Slater Park Fall Fest will run August 29th-30th. Please know that all applications will be reviewed by the Pawtucket Arts Festival 'Arts Vendor' Selection Committee on a rolling basis.

If you have any questions or concerns about this, please reach out to Jennifer Kilsey at jkilsey@pawtucketri.gov or by phone at 401-728-0500 x 454.
