Redmond’s Northern Lights return in new spot for St. Patrick’s Day
REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- In association with Lay it Out Events, Visit Central Oregon and Travel Oregon, the Redmond Chamber of Commerce & CVB is proud to present the First Annual St. Patrick's Day Showing of the Redmond Northern Lights Event, running March 5-6 and 12-14 from 6:30-9 p.m. on the front façade of Grace & Hammer Pizzeria.
The Redmond Northern Lights is a brand-new seasonal multimedia experience that will be projected on the façade of Grace and Hammer Pizzeria, on the corner of 7th and Cascade in downtown Redmond.
Including original, fun and family-friendly animation that interacts with the building's facade, this light show experience is the perfect way to remain COVID-safe while still celebrating St. Patrick's Day!
Playing on a loop, the animation will be between 5 and 10 minutes and will begin broadcast at dusk, and end broadcast after a few hours.
As COVID regulations continually evolve, our suggestions on how to enjoy the presentation will evolve, but we do encourage viewers to remain in their vehicles or if you do park, be sure to practice safe social distancing, wear your masks, and sanitize or wash your hands.
Our social media will be constantly updated with more information including specifics and viewing procedures, so be sure to follow us on Facebook at: facebook.com/ redmondoregon or on Instagram @visitrdm.
In 2019, the Redmond Chamber of Commerce wrote a grant proposal for the Travel Oregon and Visit Central Oregon Regional Cooperative Tourism Program for this event. This matching grant program is funded in part by state and regional hotel tax dollars, which have been levied by regions and lodging properties to promote tourism to regions.
As Redmond's DMO (Destination Marketing Organization), the Redmond Chamber of Commerce & CVB also receives a portion of the TLT (transient lodging tax) collected at lodging properties within Redmond city limits.
Upon receipt of this grant, the Redmond Chamber partnered with local production company Lay it Out Events, responsible for such notable local events as Winterfest and Balloons over Bend, who are overseeing production and logistics.
In addition to playing during St. Patrick’s Day, the Redmond Northern Lights will also take place during other holidays throughout the calendar year, including Valentines Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and will expand to other areas of downtown Redmond. So keep your eye out for all of the shows as they appear as magically as the Northern Lights themselves!
