Experience Lincoln in a whole new light on 19-21 February 2026 as Frequency Festival returns to Lincoln.

Following the huge success of Lincoln Lights back in February 2025, Frequency Festival will return to Lincoln with a vibrant city-wide celebration of light, play and discovery.

Over three days/nights, the festival will transform familiar streets, historic buildings and public spaces with illuminated trails, digital installations, and immersive experiences created by local, national and international artists.

Now in its eighth edition, Frequency Festival will invite audiences to immerse themselves in digital discovery, as Lincoln becomes a living canvas for creativity, innovation and storytelling. Most events will be free to attend, with activity taking place across the city centre in both indoor venues and outdoor public spaces.

Full programme details, artist announcements and venue information will be released closer to the festival. You can keep up to date with all things Frequency by visiting Frequency.org.uk and by joining Frequency's mailing list.

Frequency Festival is produced by Threshold, an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation based in Lincoln, working in partnership with a range of local organisations across the city.

Date: 19th February 2026 - 21st February 2026 Recurs daily.
