BLACKPOOL ILLUMINATIONS are INCREDIBLE! | A walking tour through the Blackpool Lights

BLACKPOOL ILLUMINATIONS | A walk through the Blackpool Lights from Blackpool Tower to Central Pier. Come with me as we watch the switch on of this year's illuminations and then a wander through the lights from North Pier to Madame Tussauds and Sealife Centre.

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!

Blackpool Illuminations, dubbed the greatest free light show on earth, has been delighting visitors for over 140 years and has become one of the UK’s most enduring tourist attractions.

Blackpool Illuminations sees this seaside city of fun still buzzing with excitement and laughter long after other resorts have gone into winter hibernation.

At 10 kilometers long and using over one million bulbs, the Blackpool Illuminations are an awesome spectacle.

Every year there is a Switch On concert with a celebrity to Switch On the Illuminations

The Blackpool Illuminations consist of almost every kind of light display you can imagine: lasers, neon, light bulbs, fibre optics, searchlights and floodlighting. In 2012 there were more than 500 scenic designs and features.

There are set pieces made out of wood studded with light bulbs: the characters and objects portrayed seem to “move” by way of winking lights. Three-dimensional illuminated scenes are also popular.

There are over 500 road features attached to lamp posts linked together with festoon lighting. Strings of lights along the structure of buildings pick out landmarks in luminous detail – you can always make out the Tower and the Pleasure Beach rides in this way.
