We report the experimental observation of nonlinear light localization and edge soliton formation at edges fs-laser written trimer waveguide arrays, where transition from nontopological to topological phases is controlled by spacing between neighboring trimers. found that, in former regime, solitons occur only above a considerable power threshold, whereas latter one they bifurcate linear states.
