The extended Illuminations run for 2020 comes on the back of the coronavirus pandemic, which hit traders badly at the start of the season, when lockdown was first introduced.
But with Blackpool bouncing back better than most as restrictions are easing the longer than usual Lights period means there are even more reasons for visitors to head to the seaside.
Friday (September 4) saw the popular Switch-On go virtual for the first time - you can relive the action here - so here's a look at how the 2020 Illuminations looked when that switch was flicked.

5. 'Extraordinary'
Illuminations creative curator Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen said: "The 2020 Blackpool Illuminations Switch-On will go down in history simply because it has captured all of the emotion of such an extraordinary year.”

6. Rainbows
This year’s Illuminations, which are being presented under a theme of Bring On The Light, celebrate the unstinting work of the NHS, key workers and others, with the Golden Mile featuring a display of hearts and rainbows.

7. A festive first
2020 will be the first year the Illuminations have shone over Christmas and the New Year
