Rootstock ~ 4th Annual Festival

Rootstock is back for our 4th year! We could not be more thrilled to welcome you to a once a year event with all of us at Revive the Roots.

Rootstock is a great way to experience the 23 acre Mowry Commons in Smithfield RI and slip into fall vibes. You choose your experience…

• Bring a chair and blanket and let the music wash over you all day
• Wander and explore… look at the bugs… look at the plants… look at the animals… take a tour
• Learn from our Share Space presenters about health and wellness, nature based practices and sustainability
• Food by Tacofied! Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options will be on the menu.
• Meet our community partners, the amazing folks building community and taking environmental action in Rhode Island
• Make things! Crafts and communal mural for kids and adult alike

Festivities kick off at 12pm with bands starting at 1pm. Rootstock runs rain or shine and will only be canceled for severe weather conditions. We have plenty of space underneath the Community Garden Pavilion and the Main Stage tent. In the case of rain, we recommend bringing an umbrella and wearing rain boots to fully explore and enjoy your Rootstock experience.

Where: 374 Farnum Pike

When: September 22nd from 12pm - 6pm

Tickets: Rootstock is designed to be an inclusive festival experience. All activities are free to do and tickets are pay-what-you-like. We ask that you donate between $15 and $50 dollars. The average donation is $22 per ticket. Do what is best for your budget.
