The Illuminations Blackpool
Blackpool Illuminations is an annual Lights Festival, founded in 1879 and first switched on 18 September that year, held each autumn in the English seaside resort of Blackpool on the Fylde Coast in Lancashire.
Also known locally as The Lights or The Illuminations, they run each year for sixty six days, from late August until early November at a time when every other English seaside resorts seasons are coming to an end. Dubbed as The greatest free light show on earth, they are six miles (9.65 kilometres) long and use over one million bulbs. The display stretches along the Promenade from Starr Gate at the south end of the town to Bispham in the north. In 2008 the Illuminations will run from 29 August to 2 November.

This is the set that was designed by Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen. Not heard of across the pond maybe, but well know over here as a INTERIOR designer. Garish maybe, but so is Blackpool Added: Electrical photography
