Food Trucks at Flames of Hope Waterfire 10-03-2026

Celebrate an evening with the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation for the 2026 Flames of Hope: A Celebration of Life weekend. At a new location.

🎀 Join us on Saturday 10/3 for a night of food trucks, music, and community. It’s free to attend – just pay for what you eat and drink!

At 6:30 PM, join us for the moving Flames of Hope Torch Procession, as we come together to Honor. Celebrate. Remember. This year’s procession will begin at Memorial Park and make its way through downtown Providence before arriving at the Festival Main Stage.

As the sun sets, the Providence River will begin to glow with a partial WaterFire, creating a beautiful backdrop for the evening’s celebration.

Then, at 8:30 PM, get ready to rock the night away as The Montreal Rhapsody Orchestra, presented by Riverhead Building Supply, takes over the Main Stage with an electrifying live performance.

Throughout the festival, enjoy some of Rhode Island’s best food trucks, presented by PVD Food Truck Events, offering plenty of delicious options to enjoy while taking in the festivities.
