Harbor Illumination
Event Info: Saturday, July 25, 2026
Every summer, on the last Saturday in July, Hull continues a cherished tradition as the sun sets over Hull Bay. A thousand flares ignite along the shoreline, forming a glowing necklace of light that transforms the waterfront into a breathtaking spectacle. For 30 mesmerizing minutes, the flickering flames create a serene, almost otherworldly interlude. A lone bagpiper is rowed along the shore, his haunting melody completing this unforgettable moment. For 18 years, Illumination Night has been a beloved event. This year, the Hull Lifesaving Museum will once again light up the shore, inviting all to celebrate community, beauty, and maritime history.
