This photo, taken in Providence, Rhode Island, during the WaterFire Festival, beautifully captures the contrast between blazing firelight and quiet human presence. Two large braziers burn brightly on the river, their flames leaping into the night and casting shimmering golden reflections across the water. In the foreground, silhouetted figures of people stand together, watching the spectacle in awe. The interplay of fiery brightness, glowing embers, and dark shadows creates a dramatic, almost ritualistic atmosphere that embodies the unique energy of WaterFire — a celebration of community, light, and reflection.

What a fun night! Stayed in Providence for WaterFire and dinner at Massimo 🍷✨ Celebrating 7 years of us 💕🔥 #7YearsStrong #WaterFireProvidence #AnniversaryVibes #datenight❤️
Tonight’s waterfireprov was all about celebrating Rhode Island educators — and BVP was well represented!
🌟 ES3 teacher Brianna Nagy was honored as our District Teacher of the Year
🌟 BVPHS Dean Nate Deysher was recognized for earning his National Board Certification
🌟 Silvia Muñoz Ruiz, Central Falls’ Teacher of the Year, was joined by her children: Alejandro, a BVP alum and current Yale University sophomore, and Sarah, a current BVP junior.
It was an inspiring reminder of the incredible talent, dedication, and community spirit that make BVP so special.

The “Washington Buildings” once occupied the spot where the Hospital Trust Building is now, so we’re looking at what is today the northwest corner of Westminster and Memorial Blvd. Above the building, you can see the tower tops for the original Union Station, so we know this photo was taken before 1896, probably in the late 1880s or early 1890s.

Riverwalk is owned and managed by the City of Providence.
<p>La Gondola Providence, Inc. offers private Venetian-style gondola rides along the Providence and Woonasquatucket rivers, featuring romantic outings, family-friendly trips, and customizable group tours. Guests can choose from trip packages that may include historical narration, live Italian music, and special event options such as weddings, reception cruises, and photo sessions. The company operates seasonally, weather permitting, and provides gift certificates for memorable experiences on the water.</p>
Wild Canary aka Chris Cox’s “POD” sculpture, installed in Providence in 2016, is a monumental work built from weather-resistant fiberglass-reinforced plastic. Composed of flat, monolithic panels arranged to evoke the form of a sperm whale, the piece reflects Cox’s background in boat building and his vision of adapting marine fabrication techniques for public art. The title, POD—short for People of Difference—carries a deeper meaning, symbolizing solidarity among marginalized groups facing extinction pressures similar to those endured by whales. Located along the riverwalk at 345 South Water Street, the sculpture embodies Cox’s commitment to creating large-scale public art rooted in themes of coexistence and resilience. When posting a photo of this artwork use #PODpvd to share it with the artist.
<p>Providence Kayak offers single and tandem kayak rentals on the Providence and Woonasquatucket Rivers, letting paddlers explore Riverwalk, Waterplace Park, and scenic downtown waterways under historic bridges. Rentals start at 45 or 75 minutes, with staff assistance for easy launch and landing plus route and safety guidance. Seasonal operations also include a second location at Lincoln Woods State Park for freshwater paddling on Olney Pond. Booking and gift cards are available online.</p>
Textual Gear is a kinetic public artwork that integrates gear-like forms with engraved text to celebrate the city’s industrial heritage and literary culture along the Riverwalk. Situated in Waterplace Park, the piece invites viewers to consider the interplay of movement, language, and urban history, serving as both a visual landmark and a contemplative pause within the park’s pedestrian landscape.
