⛲️ The Beacons Are Lit!

The Beacons Are Lit: Liberty’s Beacon brings seven weekends of light, sound, and motion with the help of world-renowned artists Xavier de Richemont, Leslie Epsztein, Camille Gross, and Onionlab. Liberty Memorial comes to life with an 8 to 10-minute visual and auditory experience, each paired with a custom-composed score. Created to celebrate both the Museum and Memorial's centennial and America's 250th anniversary, the project invites a new generation to Remember Forward.

Room with a View: Viewings are free to the public on the North Lawn, just bring a blanket or a picnic. The show starts at 7:30pm and repeats every 15 minutes until the last showing at 10:30pm each weekend night. Liberty’s Beacon runs through Veteran’s Day on November 11th.

Real Talk: Looking for an evening that goes beyond small talk? Mix, mingle, and choose from a list of curated discussion topics focused on issues shaping our communities, including maternal and child health, aging, disability inclusion, mental health, and community well-being.
