The story

Lincoln Lights in Lincoln

Lincoln’s Frequency Festival transforms streets, historic buildings and public spaces with illuminated trails, digital installations and immersive experiences. Mostly free activity unfolds across indoor and outdoor locations, making the city itself a gallery for light, play, technology and storytelling during winter evenings. It rewards slow exploration after dark.

Lincoln Lights has evolved into Frequency Festival, a citywide programme of light, play and digital discovery.
