HeritageFest XXXIV Dates Announced

East Providence Heritage Days Inc. is pleased to announce that HeritageFest XXXIV will be held at Pierce Memorial Field & Stadium on July 18-20, 2014.  HeritageFest is known statewide and beyond for presenting quality live performances featuring nationally known entertainers and world music by artists recommended by both the RI State Council on the Arts and the New England Foundation for the Arts.  This annual 3-day event literally puts East Providence on the map and makes it shine!  It has become for thousands statewide and beyond a summer destination. The festival holds the distinction of having been recognized by the National Geographic Traveler, the RI Dept. of Tourism and two-time recipient of the National Recreation & Parks Association (NRPA) Arts & Humanities Award for superior programming.

You won’t want to miss the outstanding talent on this year’s roster.  Stop in for some English rock with Custard Pie-Celebrating the Music of Led Zeppelin as they kick off festivities on Friday, July 18th.  Saturday, July 19th get ready for world renown and acclaimed Grammy Award winning producer and rock n’ roll legend extraordinaire Rick Derringer!  Rick will be supported by our very own local favorite Band of Brothers. Then on Sunday, July 20th  enjoy the inimitable, high energy blues-rock of The Pat Travers Band fresh from their whirlwind tour of the UK and Europe as they rock the stadium with sensational sound.  Not to be missed will be Pat’s support act Crushed Velvet.

Save the weekend of July 18-20!  Come on down and plan to stay!  HeritageFest XXXIV (yes 34th!) will take you across the globe from the African diaspora with Zili Misik, a fabulous, award winning, all-female band to echoes of Ireland and Scotland with the best of Annalivia. Come savor the splendor of Mexico with Veronica Robles & Her Mariachi and the Latin Jazz of South America with MarKamusic.
