WaterFire Providence has announced the 2022 WaterFire season which currently includes seven full lightings and six partial lightings. The season kicked off with a partial lighting in Waterplace Park on April 27th in coordination with the schedule release. The first full lighting is scheduled for Saturday, June 4th.
From April to December, expect to see the return of the #Art4Impact series which aims to highlight community milestones and themes like Arts and Science, Community Heroes, and Arts and Health. Community favorite events like the WaterFire Holiday Celebration, the 10th Annual WaterFire Salute to Veterans, and the celebration of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities in Rhode Island will return in 2022 and bring our friends and neighbors together to learn from and celebrate each other.
