While most visitors experience #WaterFire as a summer or fall event we've done lightings in every season. From a March Madness event in 2016 to this year's triumphant return of our Holiday event, each season makes WaterFire a little different. โ

What's your favorite time of year to enjoy a WaterFire lighting?โ

The 2021 WaterFire season was a new and challenging experience for all involved. It was a return to something familiar in a world of uncertainty. We brought light and life back to Providence.โ
โ
WaterFire Providence would like to thank all of our supporters, donors, and stakeholders who helped us to bring the 2021 season to life. Without the support of local businesses, individual donors, and our leaders at the state and city level our 2021 season wouldn't have been possible. We also need to thank our hardworking staff and dedicated team of volunteers who worked overtime to get all the pieces of the WaterFire installation in the river and up running in record time. And lastly, we are extremely grateful to all the visitors who come out to experience WaterFire with us safely in 2021. โ
โ
We'll see you all again in 2022!โ
โ
Keep the Future of WaterFire alive! โ

Hi everyone! My name is Nicole Rendler and I am a senior event management student at Johnson & Wales University in Providence! This spring, I am joining Waterfire as a Volunteer Management and Engagement intern and Iโm really excited to get started. I canโt wait to meet new people and learn more about events, especially in the nonprofit sector!
WaterFire Volunteers put in over 3,100 hours towards the 2021 WaterFire Lighting season and we could not be more thankful for their support in such a small time frame! Thank you for being apart of the art โฅ๏ธ
Letโs see what 2022 has in store for @waterfireprov ๐
