Our annual light festival happening right here in Thurrock.
Fun, free and family friendly event – with something for all ages.
Arts Outburst are excited to present their fourth Light Up Thurrock festival on Friday 28 March 2025.
Starting at 6:00pm, we will be lighting up Falcon Woods and residents are invited to come along to see light installations from festival favourites Same Sky and a dance performance by LED Dance Artist, Ed Grimoldby. Lanterns will be available for people to collect to take part in a Light Up Parade.
Following on from the success of Light Up Thurrock 2024 and back by popular demand, the Parade will be led by Flash Bang Brass who will be performing their Time Tunnel playlist, chosen by local residents, as they lead us along Argent Street, up the High Street and on to the Thameside complex via Orsett Road. Puppets with Guts will be back for the parade with The Lips and on the way you will be able to see window displays and buildings lit up along the route.
On arrival at the Thameside there will be performances from The Lips, Ed Grimoldby, Coda Dance Company and interactive light installations by Connor Turansky who will be working with local people to create a piece based on the past, present and future of Thurrock and there will also be a makers market and a visit from the Essex Gaming Bus.
