Hull Illumination: 2025
Purchase a Flare for this year’s Harbor Illumination, or a Forever Flare to be lit in perpetuity, or sponsor the Illumination Today!
About The Event
Every summer, on the last Saturday in July, Hull continues a cherished tradition as the sun sets over Hull Bay. A thousand flares ignite along the shoreline, forming a glowing necklace of light that transforms the waterfront into a breathtaking spectacle. For 30 mesmerizing minutes, the flickering flames create a serene, almost otherworldly interlude. A lone bagpiper is rowed along the shore, his haunting melody completing this unforgettable moment. For 16 years, Illumination Night has been a beloved event. This year, the Hull Lifesaving Museum will once again light up the shore, inviting all to celebrate community, beauty, and maritime history.
Schedule:
5:00 PM Coast Guard City Commemoration, Hull Cemetery
6:00 PM Open House at Hull Lifesaving Museum
8:00 PM Forever Flare Ceremony at A Street Pier
8:30 PM Harbor Illumination!
Purchase a Flare!
The flares help us Honor, Celebrate, and Remember. Some people’s flares honor a beloved parent, others a place of great meaning, and some just shout Yes! to the night, a silent salute to this moment of collective beauty we all create together. Flares cost $10 apiece. They can be purchased at the museum, online at hulllifesavingmuseum.org, or by phone.
Your flare will be placed in a special holder inscribed with your personal memorial on a commemorative plaque. Forever Flares can be purchased at the museum, online at hulllifesavingmuseum.org, or by phone.
