In honour of Canada and Fourth of July celebrations on both sides of our international border and binational Fort Erie/Buffalo Friendship Festival, the Peace Bridge will glow through the evening hours with patriotic colours.
This lightshow, sponsored by the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority, is scattered across the bridge’s arches, truss and spine for residents and visitors on both sides of the border to see.
The Peace Bridge has served as one of the busiest border crossings on this continent since its opening in the 1920s. It also remains a symbol of peace between two neighbouring countries in a world where crossing borders can still get people jailed or killed. Whatever arguments or disputes Canadians and Americans may sometimes have with each other, it is important to remember that.
