Grab Your Paddles and Help Us Light Up the River During WaterFire’s Event On Saturday, September 15th
Clear Currents is the portion of the evening’s Waterfire event that incorporates 100 illuminated Japanese koi (fish) temporarily mounted on canoes and kayaks that registered participants will paddle up and down the river after sunset. The light from these brightly colored fish will beautifully compliment the 80 wood burning braziers installed on the river!

About the author
I've worked at WaterFire Providence since 2003. For the first 9 years of my career, I worked in the Production Shop learning all of the details that go into the physical production of the event. In 2012 transitioned to the role of managing WaterFire's social media and web presence. I now head up WaterFire Providence's digital projects including, web, social, databases, and our physical IT infrastructure.
I work for a bus company in SI,NY we have received a couple of requests for this event. I have never been there and I am thinking of put a trip together as well. I believe your next waterfater is Sept. 15, 2012. Do you have any suggestions of hotels or what they can do in a two days stay restaurants, etc. I would apprecaite all your help and guidance. Thank you kindly!
