Liverpool shines on Light Night 2013

FRIDAY, 17 May 2013, might have been a bit cold and damp, but the City was extremely active as it was illuminated for Light
Night 2013, (the 4th instalment of the annual festival), with over 130 special events celebrating what the City's world-class culture has to offer.

Visitors enjoyed 5 dazzling light projections, street theatre, the public reopening of Liverpool Central Library and the launch of LOOK/13 Liverpool International Photography Festival amidst scores of parades, workshops, performances, open studios and more.

A wedding proposal was accepted at the top of the Anglican Cathedral during the festival, and Liverpool Central Library received over 15,000 visitors.

This year event was the biggest programme ever, making it the largest of the UK wide, Museums at Night initiative.

Charlotte Corrie of Open Culture, co-ordinators of Light Night said:- "It's been the most popular Light Night yet! The success of Light Night is down to the tremendous contribution of all the arts organisations and creatives that have taken part this year, offering a real showcase of the year-round offer. The public response has been excellent, and we're so happy to see the festival going from strength to strength each year. Everyone is invited to the next one on Friday 16th May 2014."
