Day of the Dead
The Steel Yard presents its 3rd annual HALLOWEEN IRON POUR!
Friday, October 31st - 6:00pm
27 Sims Avenue, Providence
This Halloween, come down to the Steel Yard for another molten metal spectacular! The gates open at 6:00 on October 31st at the Steel Yard, and admission is $5. Activities from 6pm - 7pm will include a ceramic bowl sale by our Ceramics Cooperative, bike art and costume building with Recycle-A-Bike, and a pumpkin flinging trebuchet. Proceeds from the bowl sale will benefit the Ceramics Department and resident artists. Hot cider and snacks will be available by donation.
The Iron Guild’s casting performance will start promptly at 7pm. The first Guild performance at the Steel Yard brought us a glowing skull with iron wings. Last year, they unveiled the giant flaming heart and poured molten iron into pumpkins. This year…zombies, brains, and candy.
Stick around after the pour for music from local Providence band Tides.
*For pictures and video from previous Iron Guild performances, check out their website: IronGuild.net.

Hunger affects 1 in every 8 Rhode Island households. There are 35,000 children living in poverty in Rhode Island - that’s 15% of the state’s population under 18….WHY?
Social Venture Partners Rhode Island invites you to participate in an interactive simulation to experience the challenges and frustrations of living and working in poverty. This unique experience is designed to help participants begin to understand what it might be like to live in a typical low-income family trying to survive.
