Stamford Downtown Lights Up Local Parks and Streets

STAMFORD CT – Stamford Downtown Special Services District invites you to enjoy “Lighting as Art,” the magnificent palette of lights that are decking the trees from Columbus Park to Atlantic St to Bedford ending at Latham Park. 

The two centerpieces of this lighting-as-art extravaganza are the following: the stately oak in Columbus Park replete with 50,000 multi-colored lights and the graceful oak in front of the Ferguson Library with its 15,000 lights. But, that’s not all.

Stamford Downtown’s Lighting Program extends from Columbus Park, Atlantic Street and Bedford Street.

Stamford Downtown has chosen to utilize energy-efficient, LED lights exclusively. Stamford Downtown’s switch to LED lights will require a fraction (approximately 12%) of the energy needed to power the traditional, incandescent lights used in previous years.

Stamford Downtown’s Lighting Program includes:

  •       Eighty (80) street trees extending from Columbus Park, Atlantic Street and Bedford Street.
  •       Twelve (12) trees surrounding Latham Park.
  •       Stamford Downtown has decorated the thirty (30) foot Holiday Tree at Latham Park. The Holiday Tree is adorned with 10,000 multi-colored lights and more than two-hundred (200) ornaments.
  •       The Holiday Tree is also decorated with three-hundred (300) strobe lights. These lights are active on two (2) minute intervals; four (4) times each hour.
  •       The large oak tree that highlights Columbus Park is lined with 50,000 multi-color lights. This magnificent oak is particularly stunning!
  •       The trees surrounding the oak tree at Columbus Park are also lit.
  •       15,000 multi-colored lights were installed on the tree located at the Ferguson Library.
  •       At Kiwanis Park, located adjacent to the Palace Theater, Stamford Downtown has lit six (6) trees within the Park while also installing decorative, light rods, or icicles, on the walls of the two (2) adjoining properties.

We invite you to come downtown and view this incredible holiday lighting palate. Landscape lighting is indeed a work of art in Stamford Downtown this holiday season!
