Item Description

Be a part of the excitement that is WaterFire Providence® with a winning bid on this package. You and a guest will view WaterFire in an incomparable way- undoubtedly the best seat on the river! You will be invited into the exclusive catered Brazier Society reception tent with a variety of passed appetizers and drinks. You will also gain exclusive access to our fleet of VIP Boats, providing a front row seat to WaterFire right on the river.

WaterFire invites you to light a luminaria and dedicate your paper lantern with a commemoration, a hope, a wish, a remembrance, your name, or the reason for your visit to WaterFire.  You will light your candle lantern and then be led into the park where you will place it in a special spot.  All the dedication cards are saved and preserved in a book at WaterFire.

You are also invited to Wish Upon A Star at Starry, Starry Night in Memorial Park to share a wish for peace; a wish for love; a wish for grace; whatever your wish may be!  One hundred luminous blue stars are suspended in the triangular grove of trees in Memorial Park. Add your light to the night by writing your wish on a ribbon and attaching it to your own star and hanging it in the constellation overhead!

You will also take home a WaterFire Providence® Euro-tag bumper sticker, a t-shirt and a poster signed by artist, Barnaby Evans.

WaterFire Providence®, the award-winning sculpture by Barnaby Evans installed on the three rivers of downtown Providence, has been praised by Rhode Island residents and international visitors alike as a powerful work of art and a moving symbol of Providence’s renaissance. WaterFire’s one hundred sparkling bonfires, the fragrant scent of aromatic wood smoke, the flickering firelight on the arched bridges, the silhouettes of the firetenders passing by the flames, the torch-lit vessels traveling down the river, and the enchanting music from around the world engage all the senses and emotions of those who stroll the paths of Waterplace Park. WaterFire has captured the imagination of over ten million visitors, bringing life to downtown, and revitalizing Rhode Island’s capital city.
