Hold or Commemorate Events

There are two opportunities to make use of the Pawtucket River Bridge in addition to driving from Rhode Island into Massachusetts or just coming to view the spectacle or hang out.

  1. Hold an event at the bridge; or

  2. Commemorate an event or occasion by requesting a particular lighting display

The city is currently developing policies and procedures for both and when ready, they will be posted on this website.
