WaterFire is an outdoor art installation that features a series of bonfires lit on the surface of rivers, primarily in Providence, Rhode Island. The event typically takes place during the warmer months and is accompanied by music, creating a unique atmosphere for visitors. The installation was created by artist Barnaby Evans in 1994 and has since become a popular cultural event. Each lighting involves dozens of braziers filled with wood, which are set ablaze at sunset, illuminating the water and surrounding areas, while also promoting community engagement and celebration.
