Clock Tower Lightings

Illuminate a Spokane Landmark for a Special Cause or Celebration

Standing tall in the heart of Riverfront Park, the historic Great Northern Clock Tower is one of Spokane's most recognizable landmarks. Through Riverfront Park's Clock Tower Lighting Program, organizations and community groups can request special lighting displays to recognize meaningful occasions, celebrate community achievements, and raise awareness for important causes.

Special lighting displays typically use custom projections, known as GOBOs, to illuminate the Clock Tower with images, symbols, or messages that reflect the occasion.

Who Can Request a Clock Tower Lighting?

Clock Tower lighting requests are considered for a variety of community celebrations and activities, including:

1. Community Events & Celebrations: Significant public events, festivals, and celebrations that bring the Spokane community together.
2. Nonprofit Organizations & Awareness Campaigns: Locally sponsored initiatives recognizing nationally recognized causes, awareness months, or special observances.
3. Educational Achievements: Milestone academic or athletic accomplishments celebrated by local schools and educational institutions.
4. Civic Recognition: Activities associated with official proclamations by the Mayor or Spokane City Council.
5. Riverfront Park Events: Organizations and groups hosting permitted events at Riverfront Park.
