Trinity Rep is pleased to announce the return of Savor Providence this summer. A new twist on the usual “taste” event, last year’s Savor Providence brought over 700 foodies out and about to walk through Providence and sample some of the city’s finest culinary offerings while raising $10,000 for Trinity Rep’s educational programs. This year, Savor Providence will continue to showcase many of the city’s hottest restaurants on Saturday, August 29th from 11 AM to 3 PM. No tents, no standing in lines – Savor Providence leads people right to the doorsteps of the many exceptional restaurants in and around Providence’s vibrant downtown. Tickets to Savor Providence are available in a book of 10 Tastes for just $35. Tickets are on sale now at the Trinity Rep box office, 201 Washington Street, Providence; by phone at (401) 351-4242; and online at www.SavorProvidence.com.

Participants will sample a “taste” of each restaurant's personality and flavor, with samples of signature dishes, house specialties or classic cocktails offered at each establishment. All proceeds from the event will benefit the educational programs of Trinity Repertory Company.

“We're very excited to be organizing the Savor Providence event again this year,” states Trinity Rep Artistic Director Curt Columbus. “An event that showcases the incredible restaurants in our great city is a natural fit with Trinity's desire to make theatergoing a rich, rewarding experience that is unique to Providence. Last year's event was unadulterated fun for everyone who took part, and we look forward to Savor Providence becoming an annual tradition.”

“Providence is known for its fantastic restaurants and vibrant arts scene,” says Kristen Adamo, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for the Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Savor Providence is the perfect combination of our two greatest strengths – it shines a spotlight on the depth of our culinary community while raising money to develop and nurture the next generation of theatrical talent.”

The second year of the Savor Providence culinary experience will take you into some of the finest restaurants in Providence, including: 3 Steeple Street, 10 Steak and Sushi, Aspire, AQUA, Bluefin Grill, Blue Grotto, Café Noir, CAV, Citron, Chinese Laundry, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse, Gracie’s, Local 121, Mill’s Tavern, Murphy's Deli & Bar, Rick’s Roadhouse, Temple Downtown, and Trinity Brewhouse. And that’s just the beginning! Based on the success of last year’s event for local restaurants, organizers expect the event to grow exponentially in both participants and attendees.

“It was an exciting day for us last year. We saw a lot of new faces, and we’re happy to do it again,” stated Lisa Champagne, owner of 3 Steeple Street. Michael Edwards, operating partner of Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse, echoed Champagne’s sentiment: “It’s a wonderful event, and Fleming’s is proud to participate.”
