A festival in partnership with Love Camden

Light up Kilburn 2024

Light up Kilburn was a playful takeover of the urban realm, bringing joy and positivity to the High Road through colour and creativity. 

Along Kilburn High Road local retailers joined in our light festival with creative activations in their windows every evening from Friday 9th February to Saturday 24th February. There were also fun activities and events in the area for all the family.

On Saturday 24th there was a colourful closing parade, along the High Road, ending in Kilburn Grange Park with entertainment and festivities. Featuring awe-inspiring illuminations forming a trail and a magical spectacular parade, the festival brought light, colour, sound and creativity to Kilburn the festival saw over 2500 people gather in one evening.
