The world-famous illuminations were officially switched on by pop star Olly Murs on August 29, marking the start of another spectacular season along Blackpool’s famous promenade.
Stretching for miles along the seafront, the dazzling light displays, illuminated trams and colourful installations have once again transformed the town into a glowing winter attraction, drawing visitors from across the UK.
The 2024 Illuminations will come to an end on January 4 at 10.30pm, and with time running out to see them in person, these magical photos show exactly what visitors will be missing if they don’t make the trip before the lights go out:
