The Providence Culinary Collective will feature events highlighting signature culinary tastings and specially curated dinners celebrating the Providence community's culinary heritage.

“Providence's food scene has always been one of its greatest strengths, and the Providence Culinary Collective is a celebration of that,” said Kristen Adamo, president and CEO of GoProvidence, in a statement shared with GoLocalProv. “The response to last year's inaugural festival affirmed what we've long known: Providence is a city with an extraordinary culinary story to tell. This year's Providence Culinary Collective builds on that momentum with additional talent, new experiences, and even more ways for locals and visitors to savor the creativity that defines our destination.”
