WaterFire

Flaming art installation

Waterfire lighting

Some places feature fireworks in the summer. Providence showcases Barnaby Evans’ sculptural installation made of fires set afloat on three downtown rivers.

The sight of the flames contrasting with the water makes for an eye-catching spectacle.

Free music and performances accompany the visual.

It’s part art installation, part community event that takes place on select evenings from May through October.

WaterFire is free, but 30-60 boat rides are available through the Providence River Boat Company.
