TROOPTOP THURSDAYS : ‘Tis the season for a rooftop beer garden. WaterFire Providence’s TroopTop Thursdays rock the top of WaterFire Arts Center now through Aug. 29, except July 4 and July 25. Each week, you can catch the sunset, and the current exhibition, 5-9 p.m. Expect tunes, snacks, beer and wine. 475 Valley St., Providence. Details here.
WaterFire Providence announces the return of TroopTop Thursdays at the WaterFire Arts Center (WFAC) in partnership with Troop PVD and supported by Brady Sullivan Properties and the US Rubber Lofts, Cross Insurance, and Boston Document Systems. Beginning June 13, 2024, TroopTop will return weekly through August 29, 2024, except for July 4 and July 25. These summer Thursday evenings will showcase art experiences and live music as well as cocktails in support of local non-profit organizations highlighted each week. Programming for each evening is presented by Little Guy At The Gig.
Visitors are invited to experience the current exhibition as well as sunsets on the ‘TroopTop’ deck starting at 5:00 p.m. and concluding at 9:00 p.m. The event is rain-or-shine (we’ll move inside if it rains). Guests can expect snacks provided by UNFI Cafe PVD and a rotating selection of local craft beer, wine, and spirits at the bar. Each night the featured non-profit will receive a portion of the profits from Troop’s special cocktail, in 2023 TroopTop raised over $1300 for local non-profits.
