Several events to mark Cicilline's 2nd inauguration
PROVIDENCE — Mayor David N. Cicilline has announced plans for his second inauguration, with events starting Wednesday, Jan. 3, and continuing until Saturday, Jan. 6.
Cicilline, who won his second four-year term with over 80 percent of the vote last month, will be officially sworn in at 11 a.m. on the steps of City Hall, followed by his inaugural address.
“My inaugural address will set the stage for my second-term agenda, and emphasize the importance of making youth our first priority in creating a city of our greatest ambitions,” Cicilline said.
Cicilline’s inauguration will be followed by a party on Friday night at the Biltmore Hotel. Proceeds from the events will benefit Providence’s after-school programs and Volunteers in Public Schools.
The inaugural celebrations will also extend to Saturday, when skating at the Bank of America City Center will be free from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., as will admission to the Providence Children’s Museum from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Roger Williams Park Zoo from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the Rhode Island School of Design Museum from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The early days of the new year will also witness the arrival of five new members on the City Council, and the change in its leadership from John J. Lombardi to Peter S. Mancini. The council will become entirely Democratic with the loss of David Segal, a member of the Green Party.
The new council will be officially — and briefly — sworn in on Jan. 1, and then hold their full inaugural ceremonies on the night of Wednesday, Jan. 3.
