Blackpool
illuminations
|
| Every
year from September to the beginning of
November, the famous Blackpool illuminations
shine nightly along seven miles of promenade.
The switch-on ceremony is always a high
profile event with a TV, film or music star
performing the actual ceremony of throwing
the switch. |
| |
| When
night falls, Lancashire shows the rest of
the country how to really have a good time.
You’re never far from a delicious
meal, exciting live entertainment or a truly
unforgettable night out. |

Illuminations has attracted generation after
generation of visitors for more over a century.
Its a resort which sparkles, long after
others have pulled down their shutters.
The Blackpool lights started with just eight
arc lamps back in 1879 when the town became
the first to boast electric street lighting
'the first of many firsts'. With more than
a million lights, over 500 designs, more
than 500 flood/spotlights and interactive
illuminations, it's an incredible display. |
