Lightpool Festival began in 2016, to celebrate the Illuminations by bringing contemporary light and fire artists to Blackpool to be inspired by the town’s unique relationship with light.
Lightpool Festival 2026 is a festival of light, projection and performance that will take place between 15 and 31 October in Blackpool as the climax to the world-famous Blackpool Illuminations.
The world-famous Illuminations need little introduction. There are six miles of traditional festoons and tableaux along Blackpool Promenade – no wonder it’s commonly known as the greatest free light show on Earth!
