Light the Hoan is Milwaukee’s symbol of pride and possibility. Every evening, over 5,000+ vibrant lights illuminate the Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge, honoring the people, causes, and moments that bring our city together. Powered by community stories, dedications, and celebration, Light the Hoan turns Milwaukee’s skyline into a living tribute—and a reminder that inspiration shines brightest when we do it together.

The Hoan Bridge lights have several public viewing spots:

  • Near the Light the Hoan office in the Harbor District at 531 S. Water Street
  • Erie Street Plaza at 665 E Erie St.
