Friday night at Baylight kicks off with a parade that’s basically a joyous explosion of colors, music, and good vibes! It’s like a carnival on the move, and you’re invited to dance, cheer, and soak in the Friday night magic. Let the parade party begin!
Baylight have teamed up with the Kazimier to bring to Morecambe an array of sea creatures last seen in Liverpool for Eurovision 2023 and now adapted for night time in our illuminated extravaganza in Morecambe Bay.
The parade will be operated by a host of familiar Morecambe faces, from LAMATA Dance School, Heysham Power Stations as well as accompanying beats from music maestros Baybeat and local legends Samba Espirito. Expect a Giant Drumming Octopus, Shoals of fish, Disco Jellyfish and a surprise or two!
If you would like to be part of the parade, you can join our free Creatures of the Deep lantern making sessions on Monday 12th & Tuesday 13th February
