Waterfire - Providence

   Posted by: Kate   in Cool Stuff, Life

I had the opportunity to visit a full lighting of Waterfire in Providence, RI over this past weekend. At first, I was quite skeptical; How much fun could you possibly have watching bowls filled with wood, burn? Hundreds of people showed up to see the lighting and take in the music and it ended up being quite a lovely night.

If you are on the lookout for something romantic to which to take a loved one, this would definitely be on my list of really romantic and neat things to do. Throughout the night, there is also Latin dancing, and the fires serve as a backdrop to the performers. There were a couple points in the night, I had to shake feeling I was walking around a castle during a King’s festival of sorts. There is nothing high-tech about the evening and that is what makes it all the more magical.

Here’s a short video and some pictures. I particularly like the one of the two dancers, where he is out of focus and it looks like she is tearing herself away.
