April 11 is World Parkinson’s Day and Spark The Night: PD Avengers UNITE!

PD AVENGERS

Spark the Night

One World. One Night.

One Light at a Time.

On April 11, 2026, buildings, bridges, and landmarks will light up blue across the globe. Each one becomes a beacon for the more than 12 million people living with Parkinson’s, and for the families and care partners who show up for them every day.

For many people, seeing a familiar landmark lit blue is the first moment they realize how big the Parkinson’s community is—and that they’re not alone. For others, it’s a conversation starter that leads to better understanding, earlier diagnosis, and more urgency for prevention and research.

From all of us at PD Avengers (Global Alliance to End Parkinson’s Disease), and from people with Parkinson’s and their care partners around the world:

Thank you for lighting the way.

April 11 is World Parkinson’s Day
and Spark The Night

Together we stand in solidarity for more than 12 million people with Parkinson’s; Our goal in 2026 is the light up 1,000 buildings world wide, 1,000 individual “Sparklets” in 50 countries and more than 300 cities.
