A flamboyant mix of art, music, sport, theatre and technology celebrates the city\u2019s well-documented culture and creativity, in the form of internationally-relevant exhibitions and one-off transformational events. A decade on from that pivotal moment in its history, the eyes of the world will once again be fixed on Liverpool.<\/p>\n

The Culture Liverpool team, who were the brains behind the 2008 European Capital of Culture celebrations, are the driving force behind this year\u2019s spectacles, which are expected to draw huge crowds come rain, wind or shine.<\/p>\n

Feast of Fire at St George\u2019s Hall is a week-long festival experience promising to replicate the North-West European tradition of lighting bonfires over Easter, giving visitors the chance to see the fire-fuelled sculptural installations promenading through St John\u2019s Gardens, before a live performance soundtrack, with flaming food and drink thrown in.<\/p>\n

The iconic Tate Liverpool turns 30 this year, and is sharing the celebrations with Liverpool 2018. Home to some of Europe\u2019s most prestigious contemporary art, the Albert Dock gallery attracts visitors from far and wide. To mark this landmark occasion, art handling manager Ken Simmons \u2013 an ever-present since the Tate\u2019s doors first swung open in 1988 \u2013 will cast his eye over masterpieces in the Tate collection to create a bespoke display of 30 artists\u2019 works especially for the big bash!<\/p>\n

Liverpool International Music Festival is set to out-do itself this year to celebrate the city\u2019s 10-year milestone. Europe\u2019s biggest free music event is likely to attract more than 100,000 revellers for three days of awe-inspiring melodies, taking in everything from pop to urban house.<\/p>\n

And fashion enthusiasts will be excited to hear that The Clothes Show returns to Liverpool with a brand-new line-up of beauty, designers catwalks, and industry insiders. The interactive festival makes its way to St George\u2019s Quarter to showcase pieces from leading designer names and boutique labels, a vintage market featuring collections from past eras, and give visitors a chance to enjoy pop-up beauty bars. The crescendo sees Liverpool\u2019s Empire Theatre host a 45-minute award-winning performance by live music acts, models and dancers.<\/p>\n
