Blackpool Illuminations
The annual lights display stretches for six miles and features around half a million lamps as well as modern technology such as fiber-optic and neon displays.

The best way to see the display is on foot. Park your car at one of the many car parks to the South and then catch a tram to the North Pier. Then gently stroll back down the Promenade, back to your car.
If the walk becomes too much you can always hop back on to a tram or take a horse drawn cart for a special treat.
