The heavy rains forecasted this weekend have prompted the organizers of the Oyster Festival at Hemenway's Seafood Grill & Oyster Bar in Providence to cancel the event.

The free event was to mark it's fourth anniversary this weekend. For the second year in a row, all proceeds were to benefit the Ronald McDonald House of Providence.

Organizers for the Providence Rotary Street Painting Festival have postponed this weekend's event to next weekend, in anticipation of rain.

The event, involving 200 artists, amateurs and professional, children and adults, will now be held Oct. 4, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., in the outdoor Bank of America Skating Center in downtown Providence. For more information, visit www.providencestreetpainting.com.
