Blackpool Illuminations 2026 Are On: Arcades Before & After the Lights
The lights are already on, so this is a practical after-switch-on guide rather than a stale launch preview.
What is happening?
The 2026 Blackpool Illuminations Switch-On took place on Friday 4 September, with Paddy McGuinness named as the Switch-On star.
Blackpool Transport says Illuminations-related diversions are operating during busy evenings, so visitors should check travel information before heading along the Promenade.
