Bradford Council are replaying the hugely infamous nocturnal mini-festival, Illuminate Bradford in it’s multi-award winning City Park on 30 November to 2 December.
Three days of magical acts will take place as the park will be packed with amazing performances, interactive installations and colourful street theatre.
World-leading 3D projection specialists, the Colour Project, who amazed crowds with their dazzling digital animation last year, will return with a spanking brand new creation beamed onto the facade of Bradford’s historic City Hall.
The Imaginarium will lead the audiences on an enchanted journey under the sea, into space through a mysterious fantasy land. The gigantic animated light show will beam onto the City Hall and will end with a spectacular finale of light and sound.
Children will enjoy a absurd little live DJ show featuring music, performances, dance, song, comedy and tragedy in the DJ Ukebox. From satire to slapstick, this celebration of pop will have audiences dancing and laughing in equal measure. Nothing is off limits in this mad medley of modern music.
The Colour Project will also stage eyeSay, a projection piece where collective words and phrases describing Bradford will be shone onto the side of Impressions Gallery.
People will be able to try their hand at redesigning the Nat West building in vivid colours in an interactive artwork, eyeSee.
Mobile cinemas on tricycles, LightBikes, will illuminate Bradford’s streets, buildings and pavements with colourful and interactive animations.
During the festival, people can enjoy funfair rides, browse unique products at a craft market, and grab a delicious bite to eat at the food stalls.
The activities run Friday 5pm to 8.45pm, Saturday 4pm to 8.45pm and Sunday 4pm to 8.15pm. Admission is free.
