It does look there there will be a Waterfire scheduled for that weekend, because they always have one for Brown graduation, but you're not missing much. You get about 5 minutes of "ooh and ahh" before the smoke inhalation sets in.

This is what it looks like:




Now imagine being surrounded by 40,000 people looking at wood burning. Smell the smoke, feel the claustrophobia. That is Waterfire. Good, let's get a beer.

It seems really pretty when the sky is clear, for those precious few minutes when the sunset looks exactly like that and you got a HDR camera or long exposure time or what is it that they did to make those pictures look like that :) Otherwise, yeah I can imagine it's just wood burning.

Pics are gorgeous though :)

But what about the smoke? It's just a few fires in a really large open space? I assume I'd breathe more smoke next to a campfire?

It's pretty...  but, what's the use of a campfire if you can't get close enough to make s'mores?

Easy mistake to make if you don't know NYC, could have been read either way.  English can be imprecise.

Waterfire's most interesting aspect is the atmospheric dissonance.  On the one hand you have the picturesque views like in the photos above, and on the other hand you're surrounded and have that view obscured by drunks, street hawkers, glow sticks, and drunks.
