This Year 2025 Lights on the River is cancelled as the river flow levels will be too low to allow for the release of the orbs. 🙁 Planned work on the First Street Bridge will include dropping the river flow levels during this time. See you next year!

Thank you to all who have attended! We appreciate your support.
