There's another chance to 'Ride the Lights' in Blackpool
Two of Blackpool’s most popular events are coming back for the festive season.
The annual Ride The Lights event will have a repeat performance on Sunday 5th December.
There's already been one this year back in August ahead of the Illuminations Switch-On but if you missed out, you've got another chance to take part between 4pm and 8pm.
Riders are welcome to decorate their bikes with colourful lights and lanterns to add to the festive atmosphere!
And families will be invited to say “goodbye” to 2021 and get ready to say “hello” to 2022 with a celebratory fireworks display that will take place late afternoon on the Tower Festival Headland on New Year’s Eve.
The free fireworks display, which will be launched around 5pm on December 31 from the beach in front of The Blackpool Tower, will create a stunning finale to end the year.
This is the biggest programme of Christmas entertainment that Blackpool has staged in years and is part of a £1m Council investment to rejuvenate the tourism economy.
A VisitBlackpool spokesperson said: “We are delighted to be able to announce two more events to add to what is already a fantastic programme of entertainment over the winter period.
“The run-up to Christmas last year was an extremely difficult and challenging one for so many families due to COVID restrictions and lockdowns. This year, we wanted to create two occasions when people can come together and celebrate.
“By staging both events late afternoon, early evening, we hope it will give the whole family an opportunity to come out and enjoy the best of Blackpool.”
