St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador
Music-reactive pixel lighting for St. John's
St. John's is famous for its colourful row houses climbing the hills above the harbour, for Water Street and for its weather. A display that reacts to music suits a downtown known for live music, as long as it is built for the wind.
Winter installation in St. John's
St. John's is often described as Canada's windiest, foggiest and wettest major city, with heavy snow, freezing rain and storms off the Atlantic. Wind and ice are the design factors.
How we install for it
- Everything anchored and secured along its full run; nothing left loose to whip in the wind.
- Sealed connections and drip loops for fog, rain and freezing rain.
- Corrosion-resistant hardware for salt air.
- Freight and crew travel planned well ahead, with spare pixels left on site.
Commercial districts and BIAs in St. John's
Downtown St. John's, with its business improvement area, Water Street and the harbourfront, is the heart of the city's evenings out, alongside hotels, retail centres and venues. Steep streets and colourful facades make rooflines especially striking.
When to book
Book in early summer; Newfoundland installs are scheduled early for freight and travel.
