Liverpool’s enchanting River of Light festival returns for another year of stunning outdoor illuminations and art installations across the city.
24th of October to 2nd of November 2025
Liverpool’s River of Light festival returns to the city’s waterfront, offering a unique blend of art, science, and interactive experiences. This free event turns a 3km stretch of the city into an illuminated trail, featuring over a dozen installations that respond to movement, sound, and light. From playful floating bubbles to immersive sculptures that react to your presence, each installation offers a new surprise and a chance to explore creativity in action.
The trail winds through some of Liverpool’s most iconic locations, including Pier Head, Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool ONE, and St Nicholas Church Gardens, providing the perfect backdrop for an evening of wonder. Visitors can engage with installations like interactive cycling experiences that transform pedalling into bursts of colour or mirrored sculptures that celebrate cultural festivals, combining both fun and innovation.
Designed to be accessible, the festival also offers quiet hours for those who prefer a calmer experience. Families, friends, and solo visitors alike can enjoy this engaging celebration of light and science. River of Light invites everyone to explore the city in a new way, discover the magic of illuminated art, and experience Liverpool’s waterfront like never before.
