Spark the Night

April 11 | World Parkinson’s Day

A Global Wave of Blue for Parkinson’s

On April 11, the world didn’t just recognize Parkinson’s — it lit up for it.

More than 700 landmarks, buildings, bridges, and monuments across 20+ countries illuminated in blue for Spark the Night, creating a powerful global moment of awareness, unity, and urgency.

From iconic skylines to small-town landmarks, communities around the world came together with one shared message:

Parkinson’s can’t wait.

700+ Sites
20+ Countries
Thousands of Advocates
One Global Movement

Spark the Night is more than lighting buildings — it’s lighting momentum.
It’s a global call to accelerate research, improve care, and move closer to ending Parkinson’s disease.

This year, the world answered.

And next year, we go even bigger.

Parkinson’s Awareness Month

Go Big. Go Small. Just Go Blue.

Light a landmark
Light your office
Light your porch
Light your sneakers (we’ve seen it happen)

We call the small ones Sparklets — and they’re just as powerful.

Because when thousands of small lights come together…
You get a global movement.
