WaterFire is a work of art that involves movement, participation and surprise. It is full of motion—wood boats stoke the fires, rivers flow quietly beneath the burning braziers, sparks whirl through the night air, and flickering flames reflect off the dark surface of the water, animating the architectural fabric of the city.
Set sail for an evening cruise through downtown Providence — complete with the mesmerizing glow of a partial WaterFire lighting!
Glide past city landmarks, soak in the fire-lit riverfront, and enjoy a front-row seat to one of Rhode Island’s most iconic experiences. Whether you're a local or visiting for the first time, this ride blends relaxation, music and spectacle — perfect for families, date nights, or solo explorers.
Limited dates, unforgettable views. Book your spot and see Providence in a whole new light!
What’s the difference between a full lighting and a partial lighting?
- Partial/Basin WaterFire lightings typically encompass only one section of the river, such as the Waterplace Park Basin. Think of a partial lighting as a "mini" WaterFire.
- A Full WaterFire lighting includes all (80+) burning braziers throughout the Providence River from Memorial Park to the basin of WaterPlace Park.
