Light The Wall was a live music event that was held on October 20, 2012 at The Keg Bar, located at 1011 S Old Corry Road, in an effort to raise funds to provide lighting for the Pensacola Veterans Memorial Park, and Wall South.

It was hosted by bar owner Bob Huff, manager Rhonda Lucille Ruanheimo-Hurst, disc jockey Jim Sloan, and balladeer and local historian Geoffrey Hall.

Live entertainment was provided by solo musicians Sloan, Hall, Jim "Jimi Stevie" Stephan, Cookie Dahl, along with local bands Cadillac Attack and Exit 69.

Auction and raffle items, which ranged from food and drink coupons to t-shirts, local art and craft work, club memberships and weekend getaways, were donated by more than fifty local businesses and independent artists.

The event resulted in a total of $5200 that was raised and given to Veterans Memorial Park Chairman John Pritchard.
