“What impressed me was the total artistic canvas of Brush Creek. There were so many families able to stroll through the park and got very excited when the fires were light on the water.” – Larry B., Kansas City, MO
From the artist perspective …
“WaterFire has been one of the best community activities to come around in a very long time. Using an underused space and a simple concept, WaterFire has been remarkable effective to a stunning degree. This has put a light in people’s eyes. I’ve talked with at least a dozen people and if they went, they just go on about how great it was. If they hadn’t been yet, they marvel at how their friends went and they are definitely going the next time. Like a match, anyone who touches this lights up.” – Nathan Granner, featured WaterFire vocalist
“WaterFire is a ‘can’t-miss’ event for the whole family! It’s a time for the community to gather and enjoy the beautiful fall weather and watch as Brush Creek is transformed for one night into a serene, magical world. Looking forward to participating again!” – Uriah, fire dancers, Vesuvius Tribe
"WaterFire is a wonderfully unique artistic experience that gives creative platform to artists in Kansas City unlike any other. It allows local artists to enmesh their talents for a beautiful display free to the public; making many Kansas Citians aware of artistic groups that they didn't even know existed in their own backyard. Quixotic is very proud to consider WaterFire as one of our major performances of the year." - Anthony Magliano, artistic director, Quixotic Performance Fusion
"A wonderful event! We loved the spontaneity of performances, interacting with the audience, the amazing selection of music, a perfectly magical evening both as performers and spectator! Can't wait to do it again!" - Toi Shaw, tango dancer
