I’d guess that it’s because RI is not particularly a bastion of Northern or Central European heritage. Italians and Portuguese make up the majority of the population here and have very different Christmas traditions.
Bristol does have one with some traditional-looking booths, or at least they did last year, but it was more like a church craft fair as another poster described a previous one in Pawtucket.
But I agree with you, we need one. I’ve been to quite a few wonderful ones in Europe as well. Chicago actually has an amazing one if you want to travel domestically.
