Illuminate CLE
The Land of Illuminated Nights
Cleveland has always had a glow, but we’ve turned up the brightness. Illuminate CLE brings bold, dynamic lighting displays to the heart of Public Square, transforming the cityscape into a vibrant, immersive and illuminating experience every hour, on the hour, from dusk until 11:00pm.
This project isn’t just about lights — it’s about making Cleveland feel even more connected, walkable and alive after dark. Launched in 2025 through a partnership led by Destination Cleveland, Illuminate CLE builds on the legacy of the Terminal Tower's legendary light displays, extending its color themes across Public Square and beyond. Since 2016, the team at K&D Management has overseen the operations of the Tower’s lights to represent Cleveland’s diverse and vibrant community spirit. Learn more about Tower Lights here.
