Everyone at WaterFire Providence extends our thanks to the many generous supporters who have already pledged their support as we ramp to return to producing WaterFire events on the rivers of downtown Providence and continue to create world-class art experiences at the WaterFire Arts Center. After the pandemic shut-down in 2020, our team retooled to create new experiences at our home base in the Olneyville neighborhood of Providence where we hosted or co-produced over 300 covid-safe live and virtual art and theater events. We are planning to resume our downtown WaterFire lightings in the Fall of 2021 when health conditions will once again allow us to gather in large numbers along the river. WaterFire Providence is currently raising funds to rebuild our event production staff and to re-install the equipment required to create WaterFire magic on the rivers. Support the WaterFire Relief Fund and help us to re-ignite the tourism economy in Providence.
