Birmingham Light Festival
2026
Our second edition of Birmingham Light Festival took place from 12 - 15 February 2026. 13 mesmerising installations transformed the city, while more than 50 events and offers brought it to life. We partnered with over 60 fantastic organisations to make the magic happen and welcomed over 110,00 visits to the festival over four magical nights.
