Providence, Rhode Island

This August travel destination bursts with life during the summertime, with its walkable artsy downtown brimming with activities. For instance, WaterFire is the pinnacle of summer attractions, an extraordinary installation by local artist and Brown University graduate Barnaby Evans.

Emerging several times over the summer, with the main event in August, it draws hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. Nearly 100 bonfires seem to float on Providence’s downtown rivers, creating a multisensory phenomenon.

The crackling fires, the calming melodies of curated music, and the bustling crowd enhance the marvel. Street performers and musicians even donate to the magical atmosphere. But the best part of this August travel destination?

This remarkable, mesmerizing experience is entirely free! To make this adventure even better, be sure to book a Venetian gondola, gliding close to the flames while enjoying the charming blend of fire, water, and music on the Providence and Woonasquatucket rivers.
