Highlights

WaterFire is full of motion—fire tenders stoke the fires, rivers flow quietly beneath the braziers, sparks whirl through the night air, and flames reflect off the dark surface of the water, animating the architectural fabric of the city. Our WaterFire boat rides put you right in the heart of one of Rhode Island’s most iconic traditions. WaterFire lightings are intimate, unforgettable, and unmistakably Providence—an experience you simply can’t get anywhere else. Glide through the glow with us as firelight dances on the water and music fills the air. These cruises sell out fast, so grab your spots and let the flames guide you. We've been offering our WaterFire boat rides since the fires began in 1994, come see why we are the best way to experience this magical and beloved Providence event!

About Providence

Providence is the capital of Rhode Island, a historic port city of colonial streets, universities and Italian restaurants at the head of Narragansett Bay.

Providence was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams, who left Massachusetts to establish a place of religious freedom, and it sits at the head of Narragansett Bay. Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design crowd College Hill, where Benefit Street holds a mile of colonial and Federal houses. The white marble dome of the State House dominates the skyline from its hill.
