    Description

    Supporter of Romance? Join our Starry, Starry Night Team!

    Want to be part of the most romantic part of the event: Starry Starry Night?

    Visitors to WaterFire can "wish upon a star" of their own at this magical installation in Memorial Park, where large blue star lanterns are nestled in the treetops of this dark and dreamy grove. Volunteers are needed to help welcome visitors, assist in writing wishes, hanging stars, placing Luminaria lanterns, and adding negativity to the Orb. This is a quiet, yet busy location; volunteers can expect frequent interactions with visitors.

    WaterFire Volunteer Attire:

    • All black head-to-toe - you are a part of the art
    • Closed-toe shoes - there are many areas with uneven cobblestone paving

    Location

    On-site
    129 Dyer St., Providence, Rhode Island, US
