Light Up Leicester 2020

Light up Leicester Saturday night 7th March 2020

Here’s our video of tonight’s performances and light displays,
Thousands of people attended and the city centre atmosphere was electric.

Light Up Leicester is a brand new city-wide festival. Running from 5 – 8 March, it will light up the streets with a trail of free interactive artworks.

Many of the artworks have already enjoyed success in the UK and elsewhere, but three new pieces have been specially commissioned for Light up Leicester and will premiere as part of the festival.

All of the artworks are connected, this could be through in-built movement sensors, touch-based pressure pads or powered by data from the internet. Together, the seven installations will create
a stunning night-time spectacle in Leicester city centre that will be free for everyone to discover, play with and enjoy.

Light Up Leicester is delivered by Leicester City Council, ArtReach and BID Leicester. It has been made possible thanks to the support of Arts Council England. It would also like to thank Quays Culture, producer of Salford’s Lightwaves festival, for their support and guidance in making this festival possible, and its ‘Audience Lab’ participants whose critical feedback has enabled exciting and relevant promotion to reach a range of different Leicestershire communities.
