New light festival comes to Boston

A brand new immersive, light experience is coming to Boston in February 2025. Boston Brilliance, a light projection festival, is the first of its kind to visit Boston in Lincolnshire.

The festival is set to light up the architecture of Boston town centre, transforming eight iconic landmarks with breathtaking projections, portraying the town’s long and rich history.

The illuminations will be created with the signature artistry of internationally acclaimed projection mapping specialists, The Projection Studio, whom have been responsible for breathtaking spectacles such as the late Queen Elizabeth’s Golden Jubilee.

Artists from the studio, Ross Ashton and Karen Monid visited the town in early January 2024 and offered a preview on the Assembly Rooms.

The festival has been made possible due to Boston College being awarded a £100,000 grant from the Arts Council’s National Lottery Project Grants, as well as contributions from the South & East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership and local businesses.

Visitors are invited to the town to discover Boston in a completely new way and to explore the town’s rich history and links to Boston, Massachusetts.

Josh Tyers, Boston Brilliance Event Coordinator, said: “Boston Brilliance is a celebration of Creativity and Heritage in Boston, a landmark event, set to become a defining pivot point moment for Boston, Lincolnshire.

“This exciting celebration highlights the town’s vibrant creative scene and its deep cultural roots.

“The event aims to showcase not only the immense local talent, including student artists, but also feature world-class artists from across Europe, including Lithuania, France, and Spain.

“With this international flair, the festival offers an exceptional platform for cultural exchange and artistic inspiration.

“Visitors can look forward to an array of artistic displays and performances.”
