Scotland’s multi award-winning festival of light, SPECTRA, is returning to Aberdeen. Thousands of event-goers from across the city, Scotland, and further afield, are expected to descend on the Granite City to enjoy an annual explosion of colour and light, over four nights.

Free-to-attend, the festival is commissioned by owner Aberdeen City Council and produced by Live Event Management. Altogether it comprises fifteen artworks, including giant projections and massive interactive light installations, as well as entertainment from street performers, dancing and music.

The festival is supported by UK and Scottish Government funds, and is estimated to have contributed £2.6 million last year to the local economy, through visitor spend.
