It is officially fall and we’re looking forward to a beautiful fall weekend. Beyond apple picking and crisper fall walks, there’s plenty of arts and culture to check out.

If you’re looking for something to do, check out these events:

  • A Synesthete’s Atlas – Visual artist Eric Theise creates cartographic improvisations, projecting manipulated digital maps, with electronic music from Ed Osborn. Jordan’s Jungle, 545 Pawtucket Ave., Pawtucket.
  • Providence Ghost Tours – Offering the Providence Ghost Tour – a nighttime stroll through College Hill where you’ll learn about some of what they call “Providence’s longest-lingering residents.” Also “Parasols and Pocket Watches: A History Tour.” It’s a walk through historic Benefit Street, known as the “Mile of History,” covering the people and events that have shaped the street, the city, and our state.
  • Goat Hikes at Gather Farm – Take a hike through the fields and forest of Gather Farm with a herd of goats! Hikes available Friday – Sunday.
