Nashville’s Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge shines bright every night, but sometimes you’ll see pops of color over the Cumberland River.
If you’ve ever wondered what the colors or lighting sequences represent on any given night, there’s a calendar for that.
This week, the bridge represented Newroz, the Kurdish New Year (March 20), and World Down Syndrome Awareness Day (March 21). Here are a few bridge lightings coming up this spring — and check out the full schedule for more:
- Vanderbilt University’s 150th anniversary | Friday, March 24 | Black and gold
- Nashville Cherry Blossom Festival | Saturday, April 15 | Pink
- Work Zone Awareness Week | Wednesday, April 19 | Orange
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.
