C and I headed downtown Saturday night to check out the IndieArts Festival and WaterFire. At the IndieArts Festival, we caught a burlesque show, BellaMinx Burly-Q, and a surprisingly good guy using a sampler, Joey Beats. We ended up getting there kind of later than planned, so we didn’t get to check out much of the booths. There were the normal crafty/vintage, Providence things, though I think. The beer garden was a disapointment in their selections, unfortunately. The best part was seeing the people who had (hopefully) entered the facial hair contest. “Only in Providence…” was said more than once by either C or me.
We also walked over to WaterFire, which is a Providence summer tradition. From wikipedia, “WaterFire is an environemental art installation created by Barnaby Evans… It consists of a series of up to 100 bonfires that blaze just above the surface of the three rivers that pass through the middle of downtown Providence.” Check out the pictures for C and my interactions with the street art people.
