Nashville’s Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge shines bright every night, but sometimes you’ll see pops of color over the Cumberland River.

DYK: Nashville residents can submit lighting requests for “public events of broad community significance” to recognize a specific cause or commemorate a local event. This excludes individual birthdays, anniversaries, and other personal celebrations.
