WaterFire Providence

Providence Waterfire
On Saturday Evening, July 13, au pairs from throughout New England are invited to join us at WaterFire, Providence’s spectacular, award-winning event which centers on a series of 100 bonfires that blaze just above the surface of the three rivers that pass through the middle of downtown Providence. The fires illuminate nearly two-thirds of a mile of urban spaces and parks. Visitors stroll along the river enjoying the sound of crackling flames, the fragrant scent of blazing cedar and pine, the flickering firelight, the performers traveling along the river in torch-lit vessels and the extraordinary music from all over the world. WaterFire is a must for Rhode Island visitors and residents alike! This will be a fun way for New England au pairs to get together and enjoy the spectacular event, and will also be an opportunity for interested families to stop by our “campsite” to gather information about Au Pair in America. Look for red, white and blue balloons on the lawn at Waterplace Park — adjacent to to Waterplace Restaurant.
