The 40th reigning monarch to ascend the throne, King Charles III will be crowned at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6th, 2023 and the world will be watching.

From City Hall and the High Level Bridge, to Commonwealth Stadium, the Muttart Conservatory, the Rossdale plant and Walterdale Bridge, buildings all over the city will be illuminated green on May 6th and 7th to honour the new king.

In addition, a tree will be planted at Coronation Park, in order to serve as a “lasting symbol of the city connection” to the historic event.

If, of course, you’d like to send you well wishes, a book of congratulations is set up at city hall and will remain there until May 5th at 5 pm.
