Festival of Lights: How Far Along the Route Will You Get?

The lights run 19:00 to 23:00 and the good walk is about 5 km. Set your start time and how long you want to be out, and see which of the six confirmed clusters you actually reach before the lights go off.

A free tool that fits the Festival of Lights route into the evening you actually have.

The festival covers a lot of ground and the lights only run from 19:00 to 23:00, so the honest question is not which buildings are lit, it is how many of them you can reach before they go dark. Set your start time and how long you want to be out, and this lays the confirmed clusters against the clock.
