High Level Bridge

 

September 7, 2017

The High Level Bridge in Edmonton has 60,000 LED bulbs that light up the bridge every night through its state of the art programmable system. 

Light the Bridge celebrates and builds community spirit in Edmonton. The bridge lights are a beautifying element to our cityscape, a symbol of pride for locals, and part of our Edmonton story. They can also be used to help represent Edmonton and share our story with national and international audiences.

The lighting of the bridge follows a calendar that supports of national, international and local events.  Light the Bridge :: City of Edmonton

The City of Edmonton proactively fills the calendar to help recognize major events and cultural celebrations. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of people who call Edmonton home and our connection to the global community.

Citizens are invited to make requests based on the criteria outlined below. We strive to fulfill all eligible requests, but any confirmed request may be modified if a major international, national or local situation occurs.

If there is not a special request for a date, the bridge will be lit in a variety of colours.
