Ever wonder why the CN Tower showcases certain light imagery every night?  Well, every one of those 16.7 million colours displayed on our city’s 1,815 foot tower stands for something.

So Why Will It Be Purple Tonight?

The CN Tower will put on a purple light show the evening of July 24th, 2025 in honour of International Security Guards’ Day.

The CN Tower is honouring many organizations through its light shows such as St. John’s Ambulance, the Tim Horton’s Foundation, Toronto Pride and SickKids. It is best seen about 30 minutes after sunset when the sky is fully dark.

With its intelligent LED lighting system, the CN Tower also celebrates milestones such as the first day of summer, Canada Day and even the anniversary of the tower itself on June 26th. 

I’m Not in Toronto. Can I Watch Online?

Yes! You can watch the lightshow live by clicking this link.

With its 2 million visitors each year, no wonder the CN Tower is one of the world’s busiest attractions.
