Quays Culture presents two major events a year -Lightwaves in December and Quays Festival in the summer. Lightwaves is an annual festival that showcase’s inspiring digital light art; illuminating the public spaces for an unforgettable 10 days. Our previous events for the Quays Festival include a one-night only, exclusive outdoor performance, with the critically acclaimed, world-class dance circus production company, Motionhouse, and Unnatural Borders where endangered species from land and sea migrated to MediaCityUK in the form of four gigantic sculptures.
