Become a RiverFire Sponsor!
The Wakefield Village Association is excited to once again host RiverFire, a beloved seasonal tradition that lights up the Saugatucket River and Park with music, food, theater, and the unmistakable warmth of community spirit.
​
Now more than ever, events like RiverFire matter. They draw people out of their homes and into shared spaces where stories are told, friendships are formed, and memories are made. In a time when so much of life is lived online, RiverFire invites us to reconnect, offscreen and in person.
About
As a symbol of the summer, RiverFire brings together residents of South Kingstown for a celebration of the season, our community, and the beauty of our greatest local natural feature, the Saugatucket River.
​
We’ve made several changes to the event this year, including making it a monthly event held on the third Thursday of the month, from June to September. We’ve also moved activities across the river to Saugatucket Park, where live music on the large main stage will anchor the festival. Curated craft vendors will line the paved trail, inviting visitors to shop and explore the park. Food trucks will set up in the Elementary School parking lot. The outdoor CTC stage will feature improvisational theater and access to their bar. Sari’s Sanctuary will feature crafts, face painting, and other activites for children.
​
Saugatucket Park will light up Third Thursdays this summer with the festivities of RiverFire, our beloved community tradition.
