PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) -- Waterfire organizers say tonight's lighting is still on, despite today's rain.
Saturday's lighting is set to take place just after sunset at 7:42 p.m., but there are plenty of other events taking place.
Starting at 6 p.m., Capoeria Group will perform the "Afro-Brazilian" martial art of Grupo Ondas at the Basin Stage. Other acts include Bolivian dancers performing a "pre-Columbian Aymara ritual of fire and water."
Meteorologist Pete Mangione forecasts scattered showers tonight, with temperatures dropping into the 60s.
