Two weeks ago Melissa and I attended what has become a Summer and Fall Providence tradition, Waterfire. We started out with drinks at Olives on North Main St. It was Dirty Goose Martinis and a great little grilled pizza. Even though I think they forgot that we ordered the pizza because it almost 30 minutes to get it to us, it was still very good. As for the martinis, what can I say; they don't call the place "Olives" for nothing. Melissa and I have become self-proclaimed martini experts and Olives doesn't disappoint.
We headed over to check out the festivities. We came upon a traditional Incan group with dancers that just blew us away. Their sound was mesmerizing and the dancers where very impressive. After we listened and took pictures and videos we moved on to check out what it was we came to see, the small bundles of fire hovering inches above the surface of the water. If you've never been, I'd highly recommend getting down there and letting the trance-like music take you over. It's a perfect combination of elements.
There's plenty of food and drink to be had - like kettle corn, hand made chocolates and doughboys - just to name a few. Of course we tried almost everything. For anyone who would like to experience Waterfire first hand, you're in luck. The 3rd Annual Gloria Gemma Resource Foundation: Flames of Hope is taking place this Saturday October 11, 2008. There will be numerous events taking place including the lighting of the State House in a pink hue to honor the fight against breast cancer. It guarantees to be a fantastic night and 100% of the proceeds from the evening will go to benefit the Gloria Gemma Resource Foundation. I think that's amazing and I hope they raise a huge amount of money for a very worthy cause.
If you're thinking of heading DownCity for this noble cause, be sure to hit up Olives for a quick martini. Have fun!
