THE WILLAMETTE LIGHT BRIGADE IS THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE A BRAND NEW EXPERIENCE:
PORTLAND WINTER LIGHT (non)FESTIVAL
FEBRUARY 5-6, 12-13 2021
6pm-10pm
This year's Portland Winter Light (non)Festival was unlike any other!
It was a (non)Festival full of firsts:
The first time we've had two weekends, expansive citywide pop-up installations, downtown locations, a pandemic, a once in 50 year snow and ice storm.
There is so much to reflect upon! Many of you went out the first weekend and explored downtown and throughout the city on bike, on foot, and via car. Many of you wandered around to view snow-covered installations in the neighborhoods on the second weekend.
Thank you for coming out safely, and experiencing this version of the Portland Winter Light Festival!
Help keep us going by doing two things:
TAKE A SURVEY: Each year we gather feedback and information that helps us understand the impact of our free program and helps us plan for next year. Let us know what you thought!
MAKE A GIFT OF SUPPORT! Each year we present this dynamic festival for free to the public. Help us grow this festival to its full potential and come back strong in 2022!
Instead of a large gathering along the waterfront, we have collaborated with community members, artists, and businesses to present lighting displays, art installations in windows, and video projections throughout Portland.
