Tribute in Light – Viewing Guide

Tribute in Light is visible across the city and beyond when it is presented annually. Treat the evening as a time for quiet observation.

Where to Watch

Accessibility: Waterfront promenades typically offer level surfaces and resting points.

When to Go

• Arrive a bit early to settle.
• Bring a light layer; river breezes can be cool.
• Night photography works well with a tripod and patience.
• If skies are humid, expect haloed beams — equally striking.

Photo Notes

• Prefer longer exposures; avoid flash to preserve atmosphere.
• Compose with horizon and reflections when near water.
• Give others space near railings during setups.

Etiquette

• Keep language and music low.
• Give others space near railings and viewpoints.
• Avoid flash; preserve the shared atmosphere.
• Step aside after you’ve taken a few frames.

Bottom line: Choose a calm spot, linger, and let the lights do their work.
