After a recent
Boston Handmade meeting in Seekonk, BH members
Arthur,
Beth, Beth's husband Justin, and I piled in the car and headed to Providence, RI for
Waterfire.
Waterfire is a public art exhibit that takes place on certain dates throughout the summer and consists of one hundred large bonfires set actually
in the rivers of the city. It draws a huge crowd but the mesmerizing fires keep the noise level significantly hushed and peaceful; it was unlike any public art event I've ever been to.
Even from the shore, the heat from the fires was intense; we were lucky it wasn't a really hot night. In addition to the fires, there were singers stationed around the canals, gondola rides, and even a few living statues. There are still a few dates left this season to catch
Waterfire; I highly recommend that you do!
oh i'm so bummed i missed it! it looks like it was a blast!
