Known for its many bodegas, Chimi Trucks, and the red-white-blue stripe down the middle, Broad Street, aka La Broa’, is the main Latino neighborhood in Providence, RI. The stripe, which reflects the colors of the Dominican flag, is the parade route for the Dominican Parade and Festival. This event, which started in 1989, celebrates Dominican cultural pride with a day of music, food, and dancing. Today, the parade and festival are the largest Dominican event in New England — and some say the U.S. — where thousands gather every Summer to celebrate the contributions of the Dominican community to the City of Providence.
