River of Light returns to Liverpool for its ninth year under the theme 'Together', with a bigger trail extending beyond the waterfront into new city-centre locations including Williamson Square and St Paul's Square. The free outdoor light-art trail has become a staple of Liverpool's annual events calendar since 2018, drawing tens of thousands of visitors. This year's confirmed artworks include POP! by Gentilhomme, an interactive installation of giant inflatable puppets; Dream Herd by Amigo & Amigo, an illuminated, interactive flock of sheep; and LOOP by Olivier Girouard & Jonathan Villeneuve, six giant zoetropes combining movement, light and sound. All three are UK or European premieres, with further artworks to be announced. Free entry, suitable for all ages.
