Waterfire: 8th Annual FireBall Gala

Fire, Water, Earth, Air & Flair

New York has the Met Gala… Providence has FireBall! Walk the red carpet into the WaterFire Arts Center and enjoy a night of breathtaking performances, a splendid seated dinner, and WaterFire’s own twist on haute couture. And all to support WaterFire! Join us to celebrate 30 dazzling years.

We encourage guests to lean into the theme of FireBall Elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air & Flair— paparazzi will be in attendance and the night’s highlights and best-dressed guests will be featured in a future edition of RI Monthly! Doors open at 6:00 for our VIP guests and at 7:00 for the main event. Bring your dancing shoes: the night concludes with an exciting announcement about the future of WaterFire and a live band, dessert, and dancing to celebrate.

We are excited to recognize the following exceptional Rhode Islanders with WaterFire Impact Awards in gratitude for their service and leadership that have shaped our community in so many ways:

• Senator Jack Reed: Civic Leadership
• Barbara Sokoloff: Community Impact
• Jordan Seaberry: Creative Impact
