Welcome to the Blackpool Festival of Light,
part of the Blackpool Illuminations, the biggest
temporary light show in the World.
The Festival is a mixture of spectacular and intriguing
events and installations taking place in Blackpool
during the 66 nights of the Illuminations. 

A fusion of art and light, the Festival begins on the 31st August and is spreading illumination across the resort with a series of eye-catching installations,
innovative displays and spectacular events. Artists and designers will exhibit a variety of dazzling lighting displays at various locations and venues throughout Blackpool.

On the 1st of September, as part of the festival programme, the spectacular Honda Goldwing Light parade will return to Blackpool to grace the promenade. Whether you are an enthusiast or not this dazzling display of hundreds of illuminated machines is a spectacle not to be missed.

Also, a new phenomenon is set to sweep the promenade, with the UK's first illuminated ArtCar parade on the 21 st of October. Artists from all over the UK have been commissioned to create wierd and wonderful vehicles which have been re-imagined, sculpted, adorned and illuminated to create 'Transports of DeLight'
in the shape of cars, trucks, bikes and trikes, mobility scooters and
even pedal or solar-powered contraptions!"  

Keep an eye on this sight for details of events and installations happening all
over Blackpool as they're confirmed and whether you're from Blackpool or just visiting; enjoy the lights!

Best wishes,
