Our friends at LIGHT Boston invite you to join a special in-the-dark edition of "Inside/Out" -- landscape architecture site tours across our region. Prioritizing issues of climate and health, equity and resilience, each tour discusses ideas and implementation as we explore these landscapes together.

Our 2025 series continues in Charlestown...

This tour / workshop will explore illumination in urban landscapes.

Led by board members from LIGHT Boston, we'll visit a range of real-world examples to see first-hand what works, what doesn’t, and why. Learn about light levels, light color temperature and environmental impacts, then have a chance to experiment with sample fixtures to see how the right lighting can enhance the outdoor environment. We'll look at historic and contemporary settings, along the Harborwalk and in the neighborhood. Wear comfy shoes and warm layers for a fun and engaging evening.

Meet at "The Arms of Friendship" -- the giant octopus sculpture between Dry Dock 2 and 1st Avenue in the Charlestown Navy Yard.
