We're gathering at Coco's Coffee Bar from 3-5 pm in the Arcade Providence for a Happy Hour mixer! Located at 65 Weybosset St. This is a great opportunity to meet some of your fellow festival goers, shop at Lovecraft Arts & Sciences shop across the hall, pick up your festival wristband, get some caffeine or an adult beverage, and have a snack before heading up the hill to the Columbus Theatre.

While you're here, get the most out of your Providence visit by seeing and hearing about both sites important to Lovecraft's life as well as locations that inspired his works like "The Shunned House" and "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" on this detailed Walking Tour of College Hill led by scholar Donovan K. Loucks. Leaves Saturday at 9 am from 130 Westminster Street (the northwest entrance of the Arcade Providence). NOTE: This is a separately ticketed event.
