Showcasing the city at its brightest, Bristol Light Festival brings light, fun and colour to the city centre across a free, city-wide celebration. 2025’s edition will run from Friday 31st January – Sunday 9th February 2025.

Each edition celebrates artistic freedom and experimentation, featuring world-premier works alongside some of the best local, national, and international talent.
We invite visitors to explore the city’s popular and lesser-known paths, uncovering a new light of Bristol with every visit.
