The Providence Tourism Council, the City of Providence and Mayor Brett P. Smiley are thrilled to announce the 2nd annual citywide New Year’s Eve celebration with the Illuminate PVD Fireworks at the 195 District Park and the Michael Van Leesten Pedestrian Bridge on Tuesday, December 31, 2024.
An “After Dark” playground, illuminated roaming performers from Circus Dynamics, a disco welcome tent with dancers from Fluxion Entertainment, a salsa dance takeover from Cultura Dance Arts, and PVD Poetry writing poems for the New Year on the fly promise enjoyment for all ages.
The party will groove right up to the fireworks display with local musicians including Sidy Maiga and the Providence Drum Troupe, a 360 Photo Booth, and a DJ spinning tunes all night.
As part of the Starts at Sunset and Illuminate PVD programming, WaterFire Providence will be lighting braziers surrounding the pedestrian bridge, starting at 6:00 p.m., setting the stage for the Providence Tourism Council’s Illuminate PVD Fireworks show at 8:30 p.m. sharp. The 195 District Park and the Michael Van Leesten Pedestrian Bridge offers the perfect vantage point, providing views of the fireworks on the Providence River.
