WELCOME TO LIGHT CITY!

Light City 2017 promises to be bigger, brighter and bolder than our inaugural year!

One of the brightest moments from last year was looking at the smiling faces of adults and children during Light City having a great time….more than 400,000 in attendance!   

BGE was proud to serve as the lead founding partner of Light City Baltimore. We are excited to return as the lead sponsor again this year.

Returning at the heart of the festival is the 1.5-mile BGE Light Art Walk at the Inner Harbor featuring 23 large scale light installations, 35 concerts, and more than 200 performances throughout the nine day festival!    

Light City extends further than just the BGE Light Art Walk!  Don’t miss out on Light City’s daytime innovation conferences, Labs@LightCity, which will bring together national and local thought leaders to explore cutting edge concepts for sparking social change.  

And while the Inner Harbor will shine brightly, Baltimore is a city of great neighborhoods that will also be on display. This year eight neighborhoods are featured as part of the illuminated public art program–Neighborhood Lights.    

I look forward to seeing you there!
