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. 

 

River of Light 2024 programme

This bespoke interactive iteration draws in the audience’s innate sense of curiosity and play, and has been created specifically for the bodies of water around Mann Island.

This series, which utilizes meteor lights, was born from the studio's curiosity about how visitors experience the dynamic movement of light. Supported by Royal Albert Dock.

Inspired by a love of summers spent at beach front arcades it's part immersive experience and part spectacle, this brand new commission aims to share the importance of looking forward positively.

Lightbattle III is an exciting and immersive experience that celebrates the joy of cycling. The installation features two interactive arches of light, with six bicycles each other from opposite sides.

This installation by Koros Design inflates this iconic flower to epic proportions, putting it into historical context. Did you know that tulips saw an enormous surge in popularity in the 1630s, a period famously known as 'tulipmania'?
