Lightwaves Salford
Quays Culture
Lightwaves Salford - a FREE light art festival for everyone to enjoy.
This popular light art extravaganza is for visitors of all ages looking for a fun evening with family or friends. Taking place Thu 5 – Sun 8 December 2024, from 4pm-10pm, Lightwaves Salford is completely FREE to attend and no booking required. This year features 14 illuminated artworks, of different scales and themes, using light, sound and technology to create a magical experience.
The colourful illuminated artworks are located along a trail that is around 2km – all fully accessible – around MediaCity and Salford Quays. But you can do as much or as little as you want and there will be plenty for families and to delight younger visitors. Dogs are welcome too but must be kept on a lead as it can get very busy.
We can’t wait to see you!
