Lightwaves Salford returns for 2024 and invites you to explore a trail of dramatic light art installations that animate and transform the waterside around Salford Quays and MediaCity.
This year we’ll be celebrating our 11th Lightwaves with a trail of 14 illuminated works from established as well as emerging artists, both local, national and international, bringing a variety of different pieces; thought-provoking, surprising and playful.
And as always, Lightwaves Salford is free to attend and no booking required.

Quays Culture is without doubt one of the great success stories of The Quays redevelopment. The calibre of work is outstanding – presenting only the best digital commissions and installations available on the international circuit. – Julia Fawcett OBE, Chief Executive, Lowry
Quays Culture immerses audiences in new and exciting public-realm exhibitions that are inspired by its surroundings, with a focus on technology, creativity and digital innovation. Working with local talent as well as internationally renowned artists, Quays Culture’s work ranges from the intimate to the monumental, inspiring audiences to engage with the location in new and exciting ways – and always for free.
Our events sit at the heart of Salford Quays, the home of MediaCityUK, and our programme of art reflects the diverse and world-class creativity here in Salford.
