September 4th, 2014 – Partial Lighting

Partial Lighting Fire WaterFire installations are a smaller version of the event; lighting up the river from the Waterplace Basin to Steeple Street. A total of 57 braziers will be lit including the twelve braziers leading up to the Providence Place mall, the circle of twenty-two braziers in the Waterplace Park Basin, and the 20 braziers between the Waterplace Bridge and the Steeple Street Bridge.
