I know it is only Monday, but there are several events coming to Providence this weekend that everyone should know about. If you listened to Real Estate Insight with Sally Lapides yesterday on WHJJ, you already know about the Apeiron Institute for Sustainable Living's Providence Sustainability Festival. The festival will take place in Kennedy Plaza and the adjoining Burnside Park, runs from 9:30 through the day, and is free to the public. Visit their website for a detailed calendar of the day's events. The Apeiron Institute's mission is to "transform Rhode Island into a sustainable state where the needs of the present are met without compromising the needs of future generations. By promoting sustainable living practices we act as a catalyst to creating healthy communities. We lead by example and serve as an information portal that educates, connects and inspires individuals, families, schools, businesses, communities, governments and other institutions to live more sustainably." 
The festival is not the only event in town. Just around the corner at Westminster and Union Streets will be the annual "Street Painting Festival" sponsored by the Rotary Club of Providence. Again, this program is free to the public and it starts at 9:00 am and continues to 6:00 pm. "This year's event will feature approximately 300 professional and amateur street painting artists from New England creating 70 concrete masterpieces on Union Street for a chance to win an award, an Artisan Marketplace highlighting 60 booths filled with handcrafted items by local and regional artists on Westminster Street, live entertainment by "Bandstand Review," "Milt Javery," and the "Ignitors" performing amazing music, and a food court offering a great selection of food and refreshments." Providence will be packed with activities this weekend, so make sure you include the weekend as you plan out the rest of the week.
