Tonight’s lighting is brought to you by
Community Transportation Association
Tonight’s presentation of WaterFire Providence will be in the Basin only. It will be lit shortly after sunset at 8:16 pm and remain lit until 11:00 pm.
Weather Updates:
(Updated: 6.04.09 1:12 PM ): The forecast for today calls for some cloudy skies but we are all looking forward to a lovely evening at WaterFire. Come on down to the Basin of Waterplace park and experience the quiet beauty of WaterFire with us tonight.
We need everyone to donate…
Your support keeps us going. We are asking everyone to make a donation at a WaterFire Ambassador station. We will give you a glowing blue necklace so that you can add your light to the night! Donate $20 or more and receive a special RED glow necklace!
(Please realize that the commercial novelty vendors outside the park are not affiliated with WaterFire and your purchase there does not support WaterFire. Many WaterFire visitors find the flashing, strobing novelties disruptive and distracting; and that they ruin the calm of the WaterFire evening).
The Music of WaterFire:
WaterFire offers a new and unusual program of music each night that is curated by Barnaby Evans from sources all around the world. The music is likely not something you have heard before and we hope you discover something new and wonderful.
WaterFire prints a detailed music program for all full lightings which lists the artists’ names, the CD titles, and the exact start time of each piece. Please pick one up at a Ribbons of Light station, where you also can make a donation to Keep the Fires Burning! (The programs cost us about $3 to print.)
