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.

It's rare to find so much history all in one place, but that is exactly what you will find when you encounter Benefit Street's Mile of History. This is perhaps the most impressively concentrated group of original Colonial homes in the country. See the amazing details that adorn the restored houses and churches, and visit the museums that overlook the city's equally historic waterfront. For information about self-guided walking tours, visit the Providence Preservation Society.
