Welcome to
The Blackpool Illuminations

The Blackpool Illuminations shine along six miles of promenade in the north west seaside town of
Blackpool, in the greatest free lightshow on earth from August to November each year.

Young or old, visitor or resident - you can’t help but love the Blackpool Lights – they make you smile!

The Bright Lights
of Blackpool

Festoons of lights over the road, lamps, characters and scenes from your imagination.

Candelabras and crystals, bright colours and flashing lights, there’s every colour of (energy efficient LED) lightbulb that you can imagine, from Squires Gate to the tableaux at Red Bank Road at Bispham.

Friends of
Blackpool Illuminations

The Friends of the Illuminations are ambassadors with a message to share: the Illuminations make Blackpool exciting at a time of year when other
UK seaside towns are closed - so get involved,
support the Lights.

From buying your very own Lamp to sponsoring a tableaux – the choice is yours.
