Check Culture Liverpool or Visit Liverpool for current event details as locations vary by festival.
Installations will all be based close to the waterfront, including the Royal Albert Dock, as well as around the Pier Head, Exchange Flags and Liverpool ONE.

Where to park for River of light Liverpool?
Parking in Liverpool for River of Light
Our Liverpool ONE parking facility is a 5 minute walk from Liverpool Waterfront where River of Light will take place. Other facilities can be found near major hotels around Liverpool.
The first and final hours each night display a static light show (no music), while between 6pm and 10pm each night the light and sound show will run in a loop, making the trees dance with lights as a mix of contemporary music and classic holiday tunes entertain you. The full show is around 50 minutes long.
The installations switch on at 5.00pm and the lights are switched off at 9.00pm each evening. Is the trail “on” all week? You can visit the trail in the day-time if you prefer but the installations will be switched on and off at the times stated. They are switched on at 5.00pm and switched off at 9.00pm.
How long does it take to walk around Land of Lights?
Walking the 1-mile Land of Lights trail typically takes about 90 minutes, but can range from 40 minutes to over an hour, depending on your pace, how often you stop for photos, visit food stalls (like mulled wine or hot dogs), or enjoy other activities like marshmallow toasting. The experience offers different themed sections, so the time varies with stops.
"Free parking day" isn't a universal holiday but refers to local council schemes, often on Sundays, Bank Holidays, or specific evenings/weekends (like after 6 PM or for a few hours on Saturday) in various cities (e.g., York, Bedford, Southampton), with specific rules like Blue Badge holder exemptions or mandatory ticket display even for free periods. To find free parking, check your local council's transport/parking website for specific dates and locations, as rules vary significantly.

You can't buy a ticket for the original Titanic, but equivalent luxury nowadays would cost tens of thousands, while visiting Titanic Belfast offers tickets from around £25 (approx. $30 USD) for the experience. In 1912, prices ranged from about £7 (around $1,000 today) for third class to over £870 ($100,000+) for a first-class suite, showing massive class divides.
They don't usually exhibit for long – they may only show for a few minutes, then glide away before returning. A good display may last for no longer than 15-30 minutes at a time, although if you're really lucky, it could extend to a couple of hours or longer.
What does the Bible say about the aurora borealis?
The Bible doesn't directly mention the "northern lights" by name, as ancient peoples lived too far south, but some scholars interpret prophetic visions, like Ezekiel's fiery cloud from the north (Ezekiel 1:4), as descriptions of auroral displays, while others see them as metaphorical references to God's glory or natural wonders like storms. The Bible emphasizes that the heavens declare God's glory (Psalm 19:1), so many Christians view the aurora borealis as a beautiful display of His creation, pointing to His power and artistry, just like the sun, moon, and stars.
Dogs may be curious, restless, or uneasy during an aurora, as they can see the moving lights and possibly sense the associated geomagnetic changes, although they perceive colors differently than humans.
