LONG BEACH, CA — Downtown Long Beach is about to be lit. Literally.
On April 11, downtown Long Beach will shine in an entirely different way with the unveiling of “Long Beach Lights,” a new lighting installation commissioned by the Downtown Long Beach Alliance (DTLB Alliance) and the Downtown Difference.
The dynamic public artwork, designed by design and research studio People’s Architecture Office and Long Beach-based artist Jennifer Tran, aims to transform the downtown experience by bringing vibrant light, creativity, and energy to the Promenade, the Downtown Long Beach Alliance said in a statement.
“The temporary installation reimagines public space through light, offering residents and visitors a fresh and engaging way to experience Downtown Long Beach,” the organization said.
The unveiling is scheduled for 6-7 pm at the Long Beach Promenade, between First Street and Broadway. In addition to artist remarks at 6:30 pm and a ribbon cutting at 6:45, there will be an official lighting at 7 pm.
Live music is also planned. The event is free and no RSVP is required.
