SPECTRA, Scotland’s festival of light, will return to Aberdeen with a striking programme of free artworks and events that will light up the city from 08 to 11 February 2024.
Beginning in 2014 as a small pilot festival before growing into a national cultural highlight, this year marks its tenth anniversary and Spectra will once again see the Granite City’s winter nights lit up with eye-catching projections, interactive sculptures, and magical installations.
Some of Aberdeen’s most iconic buildings and locations will be transformed as part of the spectacular festival programme, including a return to Union Terrace Gardens, Marischal College, and Aberdeen Art Gallery, encouraging audiences of all ages to explore the city and delight in seeing it in a new light.
Cllr Martin Greig, Aberdeen City Council Culture Spokesperson, said “We’re delighted to announce the return of Spectra, Scotland’s Festival of Light, to Aberdeen next February and I can’t wait to see the city centre filled once more with visitors and families enjoying the amazing artwork this event brings to our city each year. I know the team and our partners have been working hard to ensure next years festival is a true celebration for the 10th anniversary of Spectra.”
A leading light of the North-East’s year-round cultural calendar, SPECTRA is delivered by Aberdeen City Council and created in collaboration with local company Live Event Management.
We look forward to sharing more news soon!
