Interact with the “Singing Trees” in Burnett Park

Experience this new, interactive light installation in Burnett Park! Lights in the trees illuminate and change colors as it reacts to nearby sounds. Make the trees "sing" with light as you sing, clap, talk, and play instruments. Come on down and let 'em hear you! Learn more here.
