The Willamette Light Brigade is a nonprofit organization based in Portland, Oregon, dedicated to enhancing the cityscape through artful lighting. Founded in 1986, their mission is to beautify and connect the city by illuminating the iconic bridges that span the Willamette River, fostering a sense of unity between the East and West sides of Portland.
In 2015, the Willamette Light Brigade launched the Portland Winter Light Festival, an annual event that showcases light-based art and technology, bringing the community together and enriching the public realm. This beloved winter festival, presented free of charge each February, not only provides cultural stimulation but also contributes to the economic vitality of Portland during the darkest time of the year.
