NINE EVENINGS THAT BELONG TO ALL OF US
“The streets of Portland were brimming with joy.”
“It was wonderful to gather for joy… It was nice to enjoy our Portland in a new ‘light.’”
“The art displayed this year is off the hook amazing… it truly raised the bar.”
“Portland’s nine-day outdoor winter art rave from the future is absolutely absurd, possibly unparalleled. Significantly grander than last year in every little way.”
The lights may be off, but we’re all still carrying that glow. For nine nights, the Portland Winter Light Festival filled the city with radiant art, unexpected moments, and the kind of shared joy we wish we could bottle.
This year’s Festival proved what’s possible when a city shows up for art and for each other. We’re incredibly close to reaching our fundraising goal, and a final push from this community can take us over the top. Your support keeps the Festival free, artist-powered, and open to everyone who needs a little light in winter. If this experience meant something to you, help us carry it forward.
Cosmic Cuddle by Miki Masuhara-Page & Electric Dandelions by Liquid PXL are illuminated at Salmon St. Springs until March 21.
LIGHT THE MORRISON BRIDGE IN YOUR COLORS
Celebrate something special by illuminating the Morrison Bridge: a birthday, an anniversary, a tribute, an event, a memorial, or a cause close to your heart.
Every bridge lighting brightens the skyline and supports the Willamette Light Brigade, the nonprofit that produces the Portland Winter Light Festival.
