Light Night

This is another of those special, unique yearly events that makes Leeds such a fantastic city to live in. Granted, there are a few other cities that celebrate light night, but the very point of this event is to celebrate the history, culture and identity of a city — and the identity of Leeds is certainly worth celebrating.
Right across the city a number of venues, companies, businesses and citizens of Leeds join in to celebrate in a variety of different ways. Light shows are projected in areas of the city, bars and pubs hold live music events, jam sessions and burlesque dance shows. Artists hold installations, Leeds shopping week highlights the best in retail within the city and theatre productions are held at various venues across the city. There are ghosts stories, comedy shows, parades and so much more.
This city wide cultural extravaganza is a phenomenon that mustn’t be missed if you are within the vicinity around the 9^th or 10^th (usually a Friday) of October each year. Whether your interest is in museums, galleries, shops, theatres, bars, places of worship or even the streets themselves, this night is one that you absolutely must not miss. The only problem is, there is so much to participate in — how will you choose what to see?
