Lasers to hit dam May 28, 2022

The lasers tell the story of the dam and surrounding area and people, drawn with light figures 300 feet tall and up to nearly a mile away.

The famous laser light show on Grand Coulee Dam will begin the season Saturday night, May 28, 2022 at 10 p.m.

And TOURS ARE BACK!

After a couple covid-harried seasons, tours will begin Saturday too, from the pump-generating plant that irrigates half of Eastern Washington. Well, okay, 670,000 acres,— but really that’s impressive. You can learn a lot more on the tour.

The Bureau of Reclamation says the Grand Coulee Dam “One River, Many Voices” laser light show and the John W. Keys III Pump-Generating Plant public tours will come back on May 28.

The light show will run nightly at 10 p.m. Pacific Time through July 31. Beginning Aug. 1, the show will start at 9:30 p.m., and beginning Sept. 1 through Sept. 30, it will start at 8:30 p.m. Start times are subject to change. Tickets are not required to enjoy the light show.

Public tours at the John W. Keys III Pump-Generating Plant will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. PDT, running approximately one hour. Availability is limited and subject to change. Admission is free. For accessible accommodations, call 509-633-9265. 

Reclamation will continue to monitor any changes in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance. Tours can be canceled without notice. Additional tour guidelines are available on our website at https://www.usbr.gov/pn/grandcoulee/visit/tour.html.
