Derby Season of Light (DSOL) returns for 2024! Between 11 October and 8 December we're celebrating Derby's dazzling diversity and creativity. Bringing communities and cultures together - embracing various festivals including Diwali, Rabi’ Al-Awwal, Hanukkah, Bonfire Night, Christmas, and the upcoming Chinese New Year which all share the common theme of 'light'.
The festival is spearheaded by Surtal Arts, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Along with our partners DSOL we'll host a series of inspiring arts activities and events across Derby and Derbyshire shining a spotlight on the universal theme of ‘Light’ and ‘Climate Change’ - bringing the city alive with a 'World of Flowers'. This year the flagship events are Derby Lantern Parade and the Lantern Sculpture Trail.
