Welcome to SPARK THE NIGHT and World Parkinson's Night!
World Parkinson's Night is an annual global event that brings together communities worldwide to raise awareness, support, and solidarity for those affected by Parkinson's disease. This significant gathering serves as a beacon of hope, uniting individuals, caregivers, advocates, and healthcare professionals in a shared mission to empower and elevate the Parkinson's community. Additionally, for SPARK THE NIGHT each city around the world works with local leaders to illuminate buildings and iconic landmarks in blue to signify support for Parkinson’s disease. We will be hoping to light 10 million blue lights for 10 million PWP globally.
