At a time of year when dark nights are set in and the twinkle of Christmas lights are a distant memory, there is a new bright light about to shine as the first Bristol Light Festival takes place in the city.From Thursday 27th Feb – Sunday 1st March, between 5pm-11pm, Bristol Light Festival will showcase renowned international light artists alongside Bristol talent across six carefully selected locations to create a trail through the city centre. Free to attend and open to all the family. Bristol Light Festival will illuminate some unexpected locations as well as some of the city’s well-trodden paths including Castle Bridge, Cascade Steps, Queen Square, Park Street and Trinity Steps on College Green. At each location, visitors will be able to see, experience and play with light art installations that are visiting the South West for the first time as well as brand-new installations created exclusively for the Bristol Light Festival.This is the first of a three-year series brought to you by Bristol City Centre Business Improvement District (BID), supported by 760 local businesses, in partnership with Bristol City Council and The University of the West of England.
