Waterfire - Providence, RI

pjames

This Summer we took in a cool event held on many Fridays in downtown Providence, RI. They really go all out, with tribal and ethereal music being piped in everywhere...then as the sun sets, boats stacked with wood troll the river and stock the cauldrons then light them ablaze. In surrounding parks they sell glowing stars or luminaries dedicated to lovers, friends and family members.

Those are great photos of waterfire. Makes it seem much cooler than it actually is. ( I thought it was kind of lame, which is funny cause I usually like lame things).

We were there on July 4th, so we thought it was pretty cool. But then again the kids weren't along so we enjoyed it a bit more than some might!
