WaterFire has been lighting up Providence for 30 years, drawing visitors and locals to the heart of the city for an unforgettable experience of fire, music, art and community. In our latest episode of PVD POV, we talk with Chris Donovan, Development Manager at WaterFire Providence, about what makes the event so special, from the stories that connect generations to the volunteers who keep it alive.
Chris also gives us a look at FireBall: Phoenix Rising, WaterFire's annual gala taking place this October at the WaterFire Arts Center. This year's theme highlights transformation, resilience and renewal, with honorees who have helped shape Rhode Island's creative spirit. Expect avant-garde black-tie looks (feathers and flames encouraged), live performances and a celebration of all things WaterFire.
Whether you've been coming to WaterFire for years or still have it on your Providence bucket list, this episode captures why it remains one of the city's most iconic experiences and how you can help keep the fires burning.
