Here's how the Dallas skyline gets lit.
The downtown Dallas skyline was lit up in blue in recognition of National Police Week in May 2017.If you’ve ever driven near downtown Dallas at night, you’ve probably wondered why and how the colorful cityscape is lit up.
Downtown Dallas Inc., an advocacy organization for businesses in the area, has some responsibility for organizing a citywide light show. It primarily manages and shares requests with buildings if they come from the mayor’s office, City Council or agencies like the Dallas Police Department. “That’s often how these things happen — if it’s based on a world event, it will be last minute, but if it’s based around a holiday or some occurrence in the distant future, we’ll send a request out sometimes weeks or months in advance,” Goldstein said.Some of the more prominent buildings that often participate in the citywide light shows include Bank of America Plaza, Reunion Tower, the Omni Hotel and AT&T’s Whitacre Tower.
Rowland, who has been running Bank of America Plaza’s lights since 2010, said the skyscraper typically accepts requests only from charities and does not engage in political messaging. Meanwhile, the Omni, which is run by the city of Dallas, must adhere to the city’s particular set of rules that permit a light change only if something is happening in the area.
