Redmond Lights

Enjoy Redmond Lights

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the 2023 Redmond Lights Kick-Off Event on Dec. 2. We love shining the light each year on the incredible talent, organizations, businesses, and community that call Redmond home. You can enjoy Redmond Lights through Jan. 3, with Downtown Park’s art and light installations on display every night from 5 – 11 p.m. Gather your friends or family to visit the park together, take a self-guided tour of the art, and drop into one of the many local businesses in the area to make a night of it.
