Blackpool Illuminations
Six miles of lights along the prom from the big switch-on night to early January. Drive it, walk it, or catch a heritage tram through the middle of it, which is the version kids remember.
Everything running on Saturday and Sunday in and around Blackpool. The list rebuilds itself every day, so it is always the coming weekend and never the one just gone.
