Mayor Donald R. Grebien invites the Pawtucket community to attend the annual Mayor’s Holiday Dinner, to be held on Tuesday, December 14th, from noon to 1:30PM in the Fogarty Manor Community Room at 214 Roosevelt Avenue.
The long-standing tradition is free and open to all city residents and is sponsored by the donations of food, money, and volunteer help from local businesses and individuals. The dinner has always enjoyed the company of “celebrity guests” that serve as wait staff for the day.

Pre-registration and masking will be required for this event. Individuals who live outside of Pawtucket Housing are encouraged to call or visit the Senior Center to register.
