The City's East End will be shrouded in darkness for an hour this weekend to celebrate Earth Hour 2009.
Adelaide City Council will switch off the Rundle Lantern, located on the Rundle Street U-Park, on Saturday 28 March from 8.30pm - 9.30pm.
Several other City landmarks will also be turned off including the Victoria Square Fountain and Council's administration building at 25 Pirie Street.
Lord Mayor Michael Harbison said Council is committed to green initiatives, and turning off the power at major landmarks for Earth Hour is a strong show of support for this event.
"Some of the world's most famous icons including the Sydney Opera House and the Eiffel Twoer in Paris will also switch off during Earth Hour, and Adelaide is also doing its big by flicking the switch on some of our City's best known landmarks including the Rundle Lantern and the Victoria Square Fountain.
"Adelaide City Council is joining millions of businesses and people around the world to support Earth Hour and the fight against climate change," said the Lord Mayor.
"This is a small yet symbolic way that our Council can celebrate Earth Hour, which is now in its second year in Adelaide."
