A spectacular parade featuring the stars of the world’s favourite children’s TV channel is to be held in Blackpool to mark the start of this year’s Illuminations season.
The Nickelodeon Grand Parade will be staged along the Golden Mile as part of this year’s switch-on celebrations.
It will see the switch-on moment returning to the outdoors after three years of being staged indoors due to pandemic restrictions. This year, the celebrations will get underway with a colourful, larger-than-life float parade featuring the likes of SpongeBob SquarePants and friends, PAW Patrol, Baby Shark, Transformers, and Monsters High. They will be accompanied along the seafront route by marching bands and dancers.
The parade is scheduled to start from Central Pier and head along the Promenade to the Tower Festival Headland. There, the celebration will continue with a free family party with live music and family entertainment, leading up to a grand finale with the iconic celebrity switch-on moment, followed by a Nickelodeon-themed light show on The Blackpool Tower and a burst of fireworks.
