For the third year — and with an expanded schedule — the Scioto River will be fired up this summer for nighttime entertainment. WaterFire, a string of wood-fueled bonfires in the middle of the river, will return beginning May 3 with eight events — the first year for a “full schedule,” project director Mike Collins said.
Throughout summer, WaterFire will pair with entertainment, including a Rhythm on the River performance featuring BalletMet Columbus (Aug. 29); the German Village Oktoberfest (Sept. 7); and the Riverfront Arts Festival, formerly the Goodale Park Art Festival (Sept. 20).
