WHAT'S ON IN LIVERPOOL
We firmly believe Liverpool is one of the best cities in the world for hosting spectacular events. Of course, you don’t have to just take our word for it. The proof is in the pudding! Liverpool has shown time and time again that it is capable of pulling off the impossible. The city has experience hosting huge shows, especially since it was awarded the European Capital of Culture title for 2008, a year that saw millions of people attend celebratory activities.
​
One of Liverpool’s most popular events was the Giant Spectacular in 2012, a multi-day outdoor spectacle featuring giant puppets. An incredible 800,000 attended, making it Liverpool’s most successful event ever, and led to additional shows in further years. After winning the 2019 Champions League, the city was well prepared to welcome the team home as heroes just hours later, with 500,000 supporters taking to the street for the victory parade.
​
The city is so good at hosting shows that organisers are always looking to return! Annual events in Liverpool include the River of Light trail, Grand National, Liverpool International Music Festival, and Liverpool Pride, to name just a few. Looking ahead, Liverpool will host the hugely exciting Eurovision Song Contest in 2023! No matter the situation, Liverpool has proven that it has what it takes to run successful events.
