Our Mission

Light Boston, Inc. is a non-profit, citizen's advocacy group formed in 1996 to promote and enhance Boston's civic environment by lighting the city's unique historic and cultural sites. Collaborating with the Mayor, city agencies and private organizations, our vision is to illuminate the "city upon a hill" and create a "Diamond Necklace" to complement our world renown "Emerald Necklace." To achieve this goal, we advocate and support the creation, installation and maintenance of exterior lighting that is imaginative, effective, and environmentally responsible.

Light Boston is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, supported by public and private contributions.
