Big news for the Providence River π§
We are working with TNC and CRMC, in partnership with the City of Providence, to remove 300 pilings and old decking near the Point Street Bridge through a $2.3M @noaa grant. We are truly honored to be part of this important effort.
This work will:
π§ Improve water quality
π£ Enhance recreation
β Reduce navigational hazards
Cleaner, safer, and better access to the river we love.
Save this to stay in the loop + share with a river lover π
Say hello to the Iceberg Trail βοΈβ¨ one of the most playful installations lighting up LUMINA 2026.
Created by LeMonde Studio after 3 years of research + development, this interactive experience is powered by YOU. Push, spin, and play for just 20 seconds and each iceberg stores enough energy to glow, sing, and shine for up to 12 minutes.
Six icebergs. Six unique light + sound experiences. Endless winter joy.
Bundle up, bring your friends, and come make the lights come alive π
