Light Up Fest 2026 – UPDATES

It’s the final countdown to Light Up Fest with only 9 days to go. The event is free but spaces are limited, so make sure you secure your tickets. Light Up Fest returns to Cannon Hill Park on Saturday 21st February. Join us for the second edition of this magical lantern procession as we celebrate creativity, community and light. We’ll walk together at dusk, filling the park with colour and handmade lanterns created by local schools and community groups, alongside a host of wonderful acts. The free outdoor parade gathers from 4.30pm outside MAC on the park side and sets off at 5.15pm, culminating in a glowing procession through Cannon Hill Park at dusk.  

Important information: Light Up Fest event in Cannon Hill Park is now fully sold out and spectator tickets are no longer available.  

Please do not turn up without a ticket. The event capacity is restricted to meet safety requirements and to ensure a comfortable experience for everyone.

If you would like to register your interest for next year, please email hello@autindt.co.uk  for future opportunities. 

Created by Autin Dance Theatre in partnership with Midlands Arts Centre and kindly sponsored by Eversheds Sutherland, The Noel Sweeney Foundation and The Blakemore Foundation 💫
