Blackpool Illuminations

The Blackpool Illuminations is a fabulous, FREE show of lights along six miles of the seafront!

Starting with Ride the Lights – the car free preview before the big Switch On night on the Friday of August Bank Holiday week. The Lights shine for weeks throughout late summer and autumn. And enjoy the World Fireworks Championships and Lightpool – the October half-term festival of light. Even better, all of these events are FREE!
