River of Light will be on display until Tuesday, November 5
River of Light has returned to Liverpool city centre for 2024. The annual family event sees a range of illuminated installations light up Liverpool’s Pier Head and Royal Albert Dock.
Visitors don’t have long left to catch the event as the last day on Tuesday, November 5. Fortunately, the weather is set to remain dry for visitors planning to catch the event during its final weekend on Saturday, November 2 and Sunday, November 3.
The event has been cancelled in previous years due to ‘adverse weather conditions.’ The event was cancelled last year as Storm Ciaran battered the region.

In its long-range Liverpool forecast, the Met Office said: “High pressure continues to dominate this week. Often cloudy with patchy rain and drizzle at times, though occasional bright spells as well, with patchy fog forming under clear skies overnight.”
