Lightwaves 2021 by Quays Culture

Lightwaves, the annual 10-day light festival animating Salford Quays, features its most ambitious line-up to date.

Alongside Floating Earth, there are eleven installations,  including Cygnus by Loomaland, a mesmerising water ballet featuring 12 perfectly synchronised, glowing robot swans and Sirens by Davy & Kristin McGuire – an installation that uses holographic projections to transform public waterways into mythical underwater worlds inhabited by supernatural sea creatures and mysterious mermaids.
