Hey, people of Providence! It's me again, Karena Garrity, your host of the Providence Daily.

First, today's weather:

Breezy; a shower in the p.m.. High: 51 Low: 22.

Here are the top three stories today in Providence:

1. The Inaugural International Women's Month March was held in Providence on Saturday afternoon. Members of the R.I.S.E. Women’s Leadership Conference marched through Downtown Providence alongside community members in celebration of women and allies of all ages. (WLNE-TV (ABC6))
2. A stabbing took place at Waterplace Park on Wednesday evening. Police reportedly have a juvenile suspect and the victim of the stabbing is reportedly in critical condition. (GoLocalProv)
3. The Asian Lantern Spectacular at Roger Williams Park Zoo is back! The zoo will once again be transformed into a fantastical, interactive Asian-inspired evening of delight complete with awe-inspiring lighted lanterns, cuisine, and performances.
