Bristol Light Festival has revealed its plans for the new year with its biggest event to date, taking over the city centre for ten days. The interactive light trail sees a number of installations created by different artists throughout the city's streets.
The free festival first came to Bristol in 2020 to offer captivating, large-scale artworks to allow people to see Bristol in a new way after dark. Fronted by Creative Director Katherine Jewkes and Vicky Lee, Head of Bristol City Centre BID, 2023 aims to showcase up to ten light installations from local, national and international light artists. The BID revealed last year's event has a huge economic impact on the city centre attracting more than 170,000 people to restaurants, shops and bars throughout the period.
"Bristol Light Festival will bring light, fun and colour to the city centre to brighten up the winter evenings. Visitors can wander and explore the city’s streets to see the light artworks come to life and enjoy Bristol’s wonderful retail and hospitality businesses along the way," a spokesperson said.
