- Providence College will host our annual Homecoming Weekend Friday, October 18 through Sunday, October 20. This will involve a series of events throughout the weekend. The major events are detailed below.
- We have sent information to all guests about parking for the weekend that encourages them to park on campus. We expect to be able to accommodate most guests on campus each day, and we have arranged for satellite parking at St. Pius V, LaSalle Academy and Robert F. Kennedy School. Nonetheless, it is inevitable that some people may park on neighborhood streets close to campus. We ask for your patience in dealing with any overflow of cars in the neighborhood. If anyone is blocking your driveway or parked illegally on your property, please call our Public Safety Office at 865-2391 to report it.
- The major events of the weekend are as follows:
- Friday, October 18, 7 p.m.– Men’s Hockey game vs. Arizona State University, Schneider Arena.
(NOTE: For hockey and soccer games during the weekend, while on-campus parking will be available, some attendees will likely park on Admiral St. and some of the surrounding side streets close to campus (Italy, Dante, Annie, Carteret, etc.).
- Saturday, October 19, 11 a.m. – Friar 5k road race/walk. While most of the route is on campus, the first leg will see runners/walkers on some of the neighborhood streets in Ward 14 (Eaton St., Enfield St., Naples Ave., Sharon St., and River Ave back to Eaton St.). That part of the race will be done in about an hour, so by noon, the neighborhood streets should be clear. We are working with Providence Police and our own Public Safety officials to provide traffic control and security for the race, as we have done in the past. A map of the 5k route is attached for your reference.
- Saturday, October 19, noon – Men’s Soccer game vs. St. John’s University at Anderson Stadium.
- Saturday, October 19 – noon-3:30 p.m. – Friar Family Fall Festival on Slavin lawn.
- Saturday, October 19 – 4 p.m. – Men’s Hockey game vs. Arizona State University, Schneider Arena.
