The Annual Charlestown Bonfire will be held on December 31st from 4:30 - 7:00 pm at Ninigret Park. This free event is for families and friends to come together to begin their New Year’s festivities and is sponsored by Dunkin Donuts.

Bring your camera - this is a great event for photos and movies! 

Financial donations will be collected for Colors for cause RI, to raise awareness of childhood cancer and help to support those families affected with this disease.

The public is also invited to participate in Colors for a Cause R.I.'s (CFAC-RI) first annual Children's Color Brigade,  a lighted short march to the New Year's Eve bonfire, symbolizing the hope for a cure for all childhood cancers.

CFAC-RI will provide glow sticks for children and adults at the tennis courts at Ninigret Park, starting at 4:00 p.m. The gold firetruck will lead the procession down to the bonfire, after 4:30, in time for the lighting ceremony. CFAC-RI is a charitable organization dedicated to providing support to families battling cancer, particularly those with childhood cancer patients.
