EastProv Hospitality is pleased to be a promotional partner for the 1st Annual Sip & Shop, happening on Saturday, September 19, from 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM at The Black Duck Tavern, 31 Warren Avenue, East Providence.
Set on the Black Duck Tavern’s patio in the Watchemoket neighborhood, Sip & Shop is all about community—bringing local artists, makers, craft vendors and neighbors together for an intimate afternoon of shopping, sipping, creativity and conversation.
Guests can browse a unique collection of local vendors while enjoying live painting, music, henna, tarot and sweet treats, with the Black Duck Tavern’s full bar available throughout the afternoon. Food will also be available from Big Mike’s Smokehouse, the Black Duck Tavern’s adjacent neighbor.
Calling Local Craft Vendors!
The vendor lineup is still coming together, and a limited number of craft vendor spaces remain available.
Local artists, makers and craft vendors interested in participating are invited to contact Ellen Turcotte via Facebook Messenger @ facebook.com/ellen.lepine
This is the first of several announcements EastProv Hospitality will be sharing as we get closer to the event, including spotlights on vendors, entertainment and more details about this new community gathering.
For now, mark your calendars!
