River of Light (original) (raw)
25 October - 5 November 2024
5pm - 9pm
FREE - no tickets needed
When the river lights up, it’s time to play.
River of Light is turning playful for its latest instalment, with 12 large scale installations presented by some of the best light artists in the world, all inspired by the theme of ‘Play’.
Some of the works will help turn Liverpool's waterfront into a playground, while others offer a deeper question around play and what it can mean for individuals, communities and a city as a whole.
River of Light is an annual free event that provides an outdoor illuminated gallery on Liverpool's Waterfront, a loop, featuring light and sound from local, national and international artists.
