About Blackpool Illuminations 2026

The world-famous Illuminations need little introduction. With six miles of traditional festoons, tableaux and interactive features along the Promenade, no wonder it’s commonly known as the greatest free light show on Earth!

The 2026 season will begin on Friday 4 September, with the full Blackpool Illuminations display stretching the full traditional route from Starr Gate to Red Bank Road until Sunday 1 November.

Thereafter, the Illuminations will light the promenade between Pleasure Beach and Gynn Roundabout from Monday 2 November to Sunday 3 January as they complement the resort's festive programme.
