Matt Lamoureux, KidsFest Entertainment Coordinator said, “KidsFest Area this year will be the best one yet! We have rethought the entire structure of the KidsFest area and performance acts to create an all new immersive KidsFest experience. Autumnfest is proud to partner the interactive experience of the KidsFest Area with local Woonsocket nonprofit, Riverzedge Arts. Bringing some interesting and engaging games, they are excited to offer a truly unique type of creative artistic experience; Participants will be able to purchase blank t-shirts which Riverzedge Arts students will then guide them to hand press a custom designed screen print image onto the shirt themselves.  KidsFest Interactive Tent returns this year with well-known characters and performers.”  The complete line up is below

President Trump is sometimes brushing off medical advice and crediting his health to what he calls "good genetics." In a new Wall Street Journal interview, Trump says he's taken more aspirin than doctors recommend for years, admits he misstated a recent medical test, and denies claims that he struggles to hear while his doctor says a CT scan was done to rule out heart-related concerns.        The President of Venezuela says he's ready to talk with the U.S. about oil and drug trafficking. A Spanish-language interview was published Thursday with Nicolas Maduro, and he was asked about a reported U.S. attack on a Venezuelan dock allegedly used by drug boats. Maduro said if the U.S. wants to "talk seriously about an agreement to combat drug trafficking, we are ready."        New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is wasting no time going after bad landlords. Mamdani held a news conference following his inauguration to put slumlords on notice that the city won't compromise when it comes to apartment maintenance and housing quality. Housing is at the top of the democratic socialist mayor's agenda with Mamdani signing three executive orders on Thursday.        Full control of the California National Guard is back in the hands of Governor Gavin Newsom. The Trump administration submitted legal paperwork that says they will no longer fight to keep the Guard under federal control.        The year-long celebration of America's 250th birthday has started. In New York City, the iconic Times Square Ball was relit in red, white and blue and raised again shortly after midnight on January 1st. For the first time ever, the ball will drop outside of New Year's Eve this year when a Fourth of July countdown is held in Times Square on July 3rd. Meanwhile in Washington, DC, the Washington Monument lit up with a 17-minute projection show telling the story of America.        Washington, DC's Department of Motor Vehicles has released a list of license plate requests that it rejected in 2025. Political commentary fueled by decisions made by the Department of Government Efficiency and its former leader led to several rejections, including "THX DOGE," "ELON NO," and "H8 ELON." The DMV also rejected a request for a plate reading "DEI."
