    Description

    Fan of the Flames?!

    Get on a Boat during a WaterFire lighting and be a part of the art! You will receive a safety speech from the Captain/First Mate/ to start. From there, you are a part of the lighting procession. Every 20-ish minutes, you will ceremonially place logs onto braziers to rekindle fires, reload firewood into the boat, and work with fellow crew members to uphold the artistic integrity of the installation. This is a performance, symbolizing the effect and influence of a community when individuals work together..

    NOTE: You will be very close to the fires to gently place the logs into the brazier so they continue to burn throughout the evening.
