For many Aquidneck Islanders, the Broadway Street Fair is a much-anticipated, fun, community event. It is a way for locals to reconnect with friends and neighbors following the busy summer season. Plus, it generates much needed revenue for businesses in the area, gives nonprofits an opportunity for community outreach, and supports local artisans and performers.

October 10, 2026 marks the 9th annual celebration of the Local Broadway District. There were over 15,000 attendees in 2025 that enjoyed a fun-filled afternoon of music, food and shopping.
