Since their inception, Impact.Plan has expanded The Umbrella Sky Project to hundreds of international installations and have brought explosions of creativity and bursts of color to the streets of France, Japan, Spain, Norway, and more. Elmhurst was the sixth city in the USA to host the stunning display.

The fan favorite Color Rain display, a vibrant collection of iridescent ribbons, returns to the structure at 110 S. Cottage Hill near Elmhurst’s Art Museum, Public Library, and Wilder Park. While striking and photogenic when the ribbons are still, the wind greatly enhances the beauty of this display, adding an element of movement and whimsy. This site is sponsored by Lakeside Bank.
