Something exciting is coming to the riverfront. ✨

We’re kicking off the Light the Dam fundraiser to help transform one of Independence’s most iconic views into a nighttime landmark our whole community can be proud of.

This project is about more than lights. It’s about community pride, tourism, downtown energy, and creating something memorable for generations to come.

Every donation, sponsorship, and share helps bring the vision to life.

💡 Join us in lighting up the Wapsi.
