Waterfire and the Godbebe



First we were waiting



Then Gabrielle charmed the crowd waving and blowing kisses



Then torch bearers ringed the lagoon



And the braziers were lit








A little tired, but happy.



And the next day there were pumkin pants!

FIRST I have to get her a Yankees shirt, just to annoy her mama ... but yes, she needs garb soon.

I really enjoy Waterfire...and not just for the 'festival food' :-)

Sarah's second time I think, btycheras' (SP?) first time, though.

For those of you reading who don't know waterfire, check it out:

www.waterfire.org

Thre are 2-3 more this season I think.

pulic/performance art in Downtown Providence on assorted Saturday evenings. Free. (except for the doodads you buy from the sidewalk vendors--I got an LED Bubble gun this time! and the food you choose to purchase.)

If you are going, never never never park at the Mall; get there (main lagoon) 1/2 hr before lighting and the best place to park is on Canal Street-there is a small park in between Canal and North Main that has a nice little parking lot.5-10 minute walk to the main lagoon area, and easy to escape from when you are ready to go home.

There's festival food?

I actually don't remember any festival food.

I've only been once (2007), and I ate at a decent Italian restaurant a half-mile or so from the river.

Mostly, I was focused on taking pictures. Heh. No pun intended.

Ya-- the festival food is usually down by Hemenways and that tall monument (opposite end from the lagoon' )...kettle corn, cotton candy, doughboys, gyro, sausage, pastries, coffee, etc.
Ask the cops. :-)
