The lights featured are often quite old, “vintage”, but new displays are included every year featuring the latest television or cartoon stars. Walking is certainly an option but the distance is quite long to see everything…certainly walking the far northern section with the static displays is reasonable. Driving is quite slow with traffic during the Illuminations but that gives you plenty of time to take in the displays.
Often you will see trams decorated with lights themselves making it even more fun. There are tram tours specifically of the lights but just taking a normal city tram is sufficient to take it all in.

The Illuminations consist of colourful light displays running along the promenade, above the street and on the street lights, from Pleasure Beach in the south to well past the tower to the north where there are a series of large static displays where the trams turn around that you can take in on foot.Ī tram is one of the best ways to take in the whole experience, particularly an older double-decker sitting on the top deck but equally good is to drive the length of the lights.
The Illuminations are a yearly event held every fall starting roughly in September and mostly finishing just after the Christmas holidays and intending to increase tourist traffic to the area in what is normally an off time of the year (in recent years it has finished before the Christmas holidays but with COVID this has changed).
