WaterFire In The City

People from all over the world have come to Providence to see the WaterFire started in 1994 to celebrate First Night on New Years Eve.


You may remember seeing this area of the city during the day in previous shots.


The backdrop of the city at night.


The ceremony of lighting the fires above.

The other end of the WaterFire - There are over 80 bonfires lite in all. 

Have you ever seen a WaterFire like this?
