KiNDNESS Illuminates the EUGENE BRiGHT Parade!

The fourth annual EUGENE BRiGHT Parade, this year in partnership with Bekindr.org, is a dazzling showcase of illuminated art in motion created by local artists, schools, nonprofits, and businesses. This free, family-friendly community event lights up the streets on Saturday, September 26, at 7:30pm starting and ending at Pearl Street and 8th Avenue.

BRiGHT comes to life through the generosity of our neighbors, shaped around a single idea: kindness. Every glowing display and handcrafted piece reflects countless small gestures of care and people offering their time, skill, and imagination so everyone in the city can share the experience. That spirit of collaboration is what turns a single evening into a shared celebration of light and belonging. It's proof that kindness can be bold and visible — parading right through downtown for everyone to see.

Be there to experience what compassion can build, or step forward to help create it or support  it yourself. Either way, you'll help this year's light SHiNE a little brighter for all. And don't miss the AfterParty at the Farmers Market Pavilion until 10:00 pm with more illuminated art and experiences, food and beverages, and dance music!
