		WaterFire Providence, an award-winning fire and music installation by artist Barnaby Evans, has had an impressive cultural and economic impact on downtown Providence, attracting over 200,000 visitors during 12 nights in 1997, bringing people and events to a central urban area that was typically deserted after dark.
		A symbol of the city's renaissance, WaterFire is striking as a successful urban event and a social phenomenon attracting media attention and economic activity to downtown Providence.
		WaterFire has become such a sensation that a number of cities are working with Evans to create related events.

	Dave's Beer: Waterfire on the Mile premieres tonight
		Waterfire in the canals with infrastructure, streets, sidewalks, and nearby restaurants is considerably different from Waterfire floating in the trash washed up on the banks of the Scioto, with nothing closer than the less-than-funky Arena District action.
		WaterFire is a catalyst for change and constructive development, in Providence, and in Columbus.
		Stats; 57% of these visitors came from out-of-state and on average, WaterFire was 79% of the reason for their trip to Rhode Island.

	Points of Interest - Providential Happening (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		People dance in the street to swing, salsa or tango on some nights, but mostly they watch the mock-mysterious spectacle of bonfires burning in a hundred braziers, most of which rest on submerged floats that are anchored to the river bottom.
		WaterFire started as a "fire sculpture installation" by local artist Barnaby Evans, which he first presented in 1994, in the midst of the city’s ten-year, $60 million effort to remove the bridges and roadways that had obscured the Providence River and the tributaries that feed it, the Woonasquatucket and Moshassuck Rivers.
		WaterFire is thus the most flamboyant evidence of what urban planners call "daylighting," the growing practice of restoring long-obscured waterways.

		Their efforts will culminate in a public action planned with the first lighting this year of the celebrated Providence "WaterFire." The WaterFire is a fascinating multi-media installation that sets the waters of the Providence River ablaze with ritual fires at sunset, this time in a specially designed ceremony evoking the Amnesty candle.
		In the shadow of the magnificent Rhode Island State House, we will call for US action on CEDAW and light our candles in recognition of women human rights defenders still at risk (click here for more on the extraordinary cases to be highlighted in the action).
		The flames of the WaterFire, mystical music from the worlds of our defenders, and the voices of the Rhode Island Feminist Chorus will add to a unique celebration of the human spirit.

		The first WaterFire of the season ignited with a Super Bowl celebration, a protest for the homeless and the hum of electric generators that powered pizza and fried dough venders, who were inside Waterplace Park for the first time since the decade-old event was founded.
		Evans said WaterFire illustrates the beauty of the city, the river and the park and shies away from commercialism.
		"WaterFire is a very symbolic event and we want to point out that as beautiful as it is, there are a lot of problems that need to be addressed," said Julia Wolfson, one of the organizers.

	WaterFire - Providence, RI Photo Gallery by William Vogt at pbase.com
		WaterFire - Providence, RI From the WaterFire program book: "WaterFire is a work of art that involves movement, participation, and surprise.
		When visitors encounter WaterFire, they cannot absorb the sculpture from just their sense of sight or even from a single vantage point - they must walk through the installation and they must use all five of their senses." "The Classical Greek philosophers divided the world into four elements - earth, air, fire, and water.
		WaterFire incorporates all of the elements of these traditional systems into a new harmonious whole."
