You'll make the amazing discovery that fire and water actually do mix when you visit WaterFire Providence. This is an actual sculpture by Barnaby Evans that has been installed on the three rivers of downtown Providence. This powerful work of art comes alive as several bonfires are lit on the surface of the water and it illuminates the paths and surrounding areas of Waterplace Park. First lit in 1994, WaterFire Providence has come to symbolize the city's spirit of resilience. The attraction has also revitalized the city's downtown area, as this popular spectacle has attracted nearly ten million visitors since it first appeared.

With the pressures of deadlines and work and bills and everyday life, sometimes you both feel like escaping it all. While you may not be able to escape as far away as you would like, maybe a romantic date on the New England Fast Ferry will create a special memory for the two of you. This ferry covers the area from Providence to Newport and back. Rides are between an hour and an hour and a half, so you can make a little getaway before you both have to come back to reality!

Your week is filled with unnecessarily serious moments. Laugh it all away when you take in a show at the Comedy Connection. Nationally recognized talents like Dennis Miller and Rosie O’Donnell are just two of the comedians who have graced the stage at this popular club on the nightlife scene. This venue has ties to the Boston entertainment Comedy Connection at Faneuil Hall, which serves to explain the consistently entertaining (not to mention hilarious) performers that are regularly on the bill.
