OCTOBER LIGHTING PREMIERE TO
INCLUDE COMMUNITY CELEBRATION

Light the Hoan is thrilled to announce that, after a two-year campaign, the west side of the bridge will be lit before the end of the summer. Following installation, a community celebration will be held to kick off the milestone, and the bridge will then be lit daily.

Light The Hoan is excited to announce its latest collaboration with the city’s iconic and homegrown fashion brand, MilwaukeeHome!

Milwaukee residents are about to get a glimpse of what the Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge will look like in all of its illuminated glory. This week, Light the Hoan will move forward with a collaboration with Signify, the world leader in lighting, to temporarily install connected LED lighting on the bridge.

Though its been some time since our last update, big things have been happening behind-the-scenes over here at Light the Hoan.

Nearly one year after Light the Hoan gave Milwaukeeans a sneak peek at what the Hoan Bridge could look like in lights, the group has announced a $1.2 million grant from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation on behalf of an anonymous donor.
