We loved the Providence WaterFire show. We took a boat ride and loved the lively atmosphere filled with music and the fire show. The River Walk was packed with people enjoying the show and the local food stalls. We even picked up a souvenir from the glass blowing tent.

Riverwalks seem to be all the rage in urban development in recent decades and I have walked along a lot of them and this one is among the better ones I have visited..it seems like it developed culturally over time rather than the brainchild of some urban development. Gurus to attract tourists. I went in the evening which I attributed to the easy time I had parking and accessing it. When was the last time you drove into the downtown area of any city and found a parking spot on the street directly in front of the restaurant you were going. Haha. Hey it was beautiful. Providence has always been a drive through city for me going between NY and Boston. I also learned about waterfront events they have and plan on attending one of thise
