Oakland Winter Lights
This winter, we invite residents and visitors alike to rediscover Oakland through a season-long celebration of light, art, and community.
Running from December through February, Oakland Winter Lights transforms the neighborhood into a glowing destination where creativity meets connection, brightening some of the city’s darkest months with installations, displays, and experiences that bring people together.
Experiences
Glow Stop: Living Lights
“Living Lights” is a uniquely creative installation wherein trees are illuminated with sound responsive lights and custom curated patterns by local artist ProjectileObjects. This year you will find it in the trees that line Forbes Avenue along Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC.
Glow Stop: Love Glow
Returning this season is “Love Glow,” a beloved community piece by Naomi Chambers, originally featured during Glowland. You can view this piece in person on the corner of Fifth and Oakland set upon some construction trailers, bringing light to every corner.
Phipps Holiday Magic
The holiday season simply isn’t complete without a trip to Phipps Holiday Magic, where glowing gardens and festive displays make spirits soar. This year’s playful theme, “Wild Winter,” invites you into a wonderland of whimsical topiary wildlife and enchanting scenes at every turn.
Glow Stop: Projected Flow
Along Forbes, between Meyran and Atwood, you will find this year's newest addition to our Glow Stops. Projected Flow is visible along the entire block and lights up the iriquois building throughout the evenings to bring a little glow to the Oakland Neighborhood.
