Transition, a development of the former Bury Light Night, is an exciting new festival taking place on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 November.
The festival kicks off at 6pm on Friday, with afternoon and evening activities continuing on the Saturday.
People of all ages are invited to come to Bury town centre to experience the festival which includes elements of light and sound with live music, sound sculptures, storytelling, flash fiction, workshops and lots more.
The festival will be focused in three main areas within Bury Culture Quarter – at Kay Gardens, Library Gardens/Gallipoli Garden and outside the Castle Armoury on Castle Street.
Tony Trehy, head of Bury Art Museum and Tourism, said: “This year we’re moving on from the traditional one-night light night we’ve held previously to a weekend festival incorporating a stronger sound element.
“We felt it was time for something new, so we’ve re-named the event ‘Transition’ to symbolise changing into something fresh every three years.And with the event extended to run over two nights and during Saturday afternoon, we’re offering lots more opportunities for local people and visitors to join in.
“We’ve got a great list of artists lined up with something for everyone, including another memorable light projection created by Illuminos.”
