About
One of Guelph’s favourite landmarks is getting a glow up—literally!
Glow Guelph will transform the covered bridge between Royal City Park and York Road Park with colourful lights every night from dusk until 11 p.m.
Strategically-placed LED lights inside the bridge will project a series of static and moving vignettes on the bridge’s inside walls and ceiling, with lights that enhance the design of the bridge’s structure. The vignettes are inspired by the seasons and nature surrounding the bridge, transitioning every 15 minutes between still and moving designs.
The colourful light display is designed to attract and encourage residents and visitors to share their photos and videos online and social media using the #GlowGuelph hashtag.
If you’re visiting the bridge, remember to stay 2 metres (6.5 feet) from people you don’t live with and sanitize or wash your hands when you leave to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
