Millions of people come to see the famous lights every year
Every year, millions of people visit Blackpool to see the legendary Illuminations. The Promenade is lit up as a dazzling spectacle with beloved characters, landmarks and designs showcased to pedestrians and motorists alike.
The Illuminations attract visitors throughout the winter as they amble along the busy street. And each year, the celebration is kicked off with a big switch on event as a celebrity is chosen to perform the big moment of switching on the lights for the first time. This year's was done by singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, with Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen doing the honours in 2022. Over the years, various big names have taken to the stage and perform the switch on. Unlike at other such events where props are used, the lever used in Blackpool is actually connected and switches on the lights.David Tennant and Dale Winton in 2007
