Blackpool’s Lightpool Festival is back with a programme of free entertainment.
It gets underway on October 14, marking 16 nights of events including light-based art installations, live performances, family-friendly activities and 3D projection shows.
It will also see the return of the Carnival Magic show in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom and the Illuminated Tram Parade, a once-a-year opportunity to see the resort’s illuminated heritage trams in convoy.
The Lightpool programme will be complemented by two free firework displays, 3D projection shows on Blackpool Tower building, a festival village on the Tower Festival Headland, and the planned unveiling of Odyssey, the biggest light installation ever built at the Illuminations own manufacturing facility.
