Morrison Bridge Lighting Partner Program

Light up the Morrison Bridge!

Are you one of the thousands of locals and visitors who enjoy the LED lights on the piers of the Morrison Bridge? The Bridge Lighting Program puts the power in your hands. Choose the colors that illuminate the Morrison Bridge 365 nights a year, sparking conversations and raising awareness for causes and events that matter to Portlanders.

The Willamette Light Brigade raised the necessary funds, shepherded the design and installation of these low-energy LED fixtures and donated them to the County. The County has contracted with WLB since July 2009 to solicit and process applications from the public and relay approved color choices to the Bridge Shop–on a first come~first served basis. We have been pleased to fulfill requests from individuals and groups with a wide range of causes, events and milestones to celebrate.

The Willamette Light Brigade, in partnership with Multnomah County, expanded the Morrison Bridge Lighting Program in 2024 with a seasonal lighting initiative that celebrates Portland’s changing seasons through vibrant displays on nights not reserved for specific events.

Modest fees from public Lighting Partners cover organizational and staff time required to fulfill their requests and to continue these lights as they began–without the use of tax funds.

Choose your lighting type (Moving/Dynamic vs Static/Still)*
Choose the appropriate item. Please note: Dynamic displays require considerable programming and, thus, higher fees.
Choose Your Lighting Duration and Fee*
*Please note that multiple day lightings are in sequential order. For example, if you would like to light the bridge for 3 days it must be for 3 days in a row. Multiple day lightings in non-sequential order cannot be discounted due to fixed bridge lighting costs associated with the changing of colors.

- I understand that the WLB is under no obligation to publicly share details of a bridge lighting on any platform including website, social media or email. Any information shared is strictly for the interest of the public and/or sponsors whom have chosen to light the bridge and NOT to provide a platform for commentary of any type. Your lighting fees are strictly used for the lighting of the bridge and any additional services provided by the WLB are provided as a courtesy and not guaranteed.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: The County will make a reasonable effort to create a lighting display approved by Willamette Light Brigade within the capabilities of the lighting system, consistent with your request. Due to the limitations of that lighting system, specific colors or light movements may not be obtained, so the County makes no guarantees about the accuracy of the colors or movements that will be displayed. If the dates you’ve chosen are not available or if bridge needs to be closed for maintenance or an emergency and prevents a special light display, those impacted will be notified and any deposit or portion thereof will be refunded if a future date or duration is not determined. Similarly, refunds may be arranged for any alleged or actual discrepancy or inadequacy of the final display.
