2 nights of Holiday cheer. Different location each night.
Spread warmth and merriment during one of the coldest times of the year. Join us as we joyfully carol through Providence’s West Side (December 19th) and East Side (December 22) neighborhoods. Last year Kidoinfo teamed up with Connect Providence, Leadership Rhode Island, Rhody Food Tours, and the West Broadway Neighborhood Association to encourage more families to take part in their annual West Side caroling event.
Kidoinfo is looking forward to partnering again this year, inviting families to carol through historic streets in Providence’s Armory District on Sunday, December 19th and starting a similar caroling event in the Summit Neighborhood on the East Side on Wednesday, December 22!
Everyone is invited to this free event, regardless of religious or non-religious beliefs.

PLEASE NOTE: We’re pleased to carol in the snow and cold, but won’t venture out in rain. A rainy night will keep us indoors enjoying the warmth of our host restaurants. Either way, we’ll experience much fun and merrymaking.
Know of any local caroling events this year?
A note from one of the neighbors: “The carolers were awesome! My husband said it brought tears to his eyes because he’s never seen it done before. I hope this becomes a tradition!”
I’m pleased to announce a third caroling location – same time and date as WestSide Caroling!
