Lovely Waterplace Park and Riverwalk
Lovely Waterplace Park and Riverwalk
See Providence transformed at Riverwalk. These 4 acres of prime riverside walks are home to the famous Waterfire exhibit that has drawn over half a million visitors each season.
The Riverwalk at Waterplace Park recalls another time and place. Venetian foot bridges provide beautiful crossings at many points along the three rivers that run through lovely downtown Providence, Rhode Island. The charming cobblestone walks lead you past street vendors selling ice creams, savories and souvenirs. You'll find plenty of street entertainment and other revelers just like yourselves out for an evening of merriment.
Imagine gathering at the water at dusk. On just 12 magical nights each year, 100 braziers silently rise from the river. Logs of cedar and pine are piled by shadowy attendants on torch lit gondolas, and the bonfires are lighted. The smell of wood smoke begins to drift lightly upon the gentle breeze. You take your sweetheart by the hand and begin to stroll the pathways that wind lazily along the Moshassuck, Providence, and Woonasquatucket Rivers, while music designed to enhance the vent gently pulls you further and further into this other world.
Eventually you come to a glorious outdoor amphitheater that encircles a tidal pond. You take your seats, and who knows what entertainment may be in store tonight? It could be a play, it could be a concert, but whatever it is, it's compliments of the city.
If such an evening appeals to you, bring yourself and someone you care for to Boat House Clock Tower, 2 American Express Way, Downtown, Providence, RI, for an experience you'll never forget.
