Last night @waterfireprov illuminated our rivers and downtown parks. It reflects Providence’s spirit, uniting our city, our history, and our community! Thank you @provriverboat for the water centered views!
Did you know in 1801 a great fire destroyed both sides of South Main Street from Planet Street to James Street—turning the neighborhood, then called “Rotten Row,” into ruins? Improvements had already begun when the Great Gale of 1815 struck, yet South Main Street recovered immediately
Waterfire celebrates beauty and connection, honoring that same resilience we all share.
We’re grateful to the @cityofprovidence, The Providence Fire Department and police, and safety teams for keeping us safe, the artists and creative teams, the volunteers who tend every flame, the Waterfire staff who manage logistics, and the generous arts supporters fueling this vision. @risd1877 And thank you to every Rhode Islander who comes to wander the waterfront, feel that warmth, and share the glow in keeping our downtown vibrant!
✨ The first full @waterfireprov lighting of the year is THIS SATURDAY May 31✨

🌊 Waterplace Park: Where History Meets the River 🌉
Once the site of the historic Great Salt Cove, Waterplace Park was completed in 1994 and now anchors one of Providence’s most iconic public spaces. Connected to nearly ¾ mile of cobblestone-paved Riverwalk, this waterfront park features Venice-style bridges and winding pedestrian paths that sit just below the hum of city traffic.
🕯️ Best known as the heart of WaterFire, Waterplace Park comes alive in the summer with bonfires on the river and music that echoes through the city — a must-experience for locals and visitors alike.
