Blackpool is a favorite summer destination for British tourists. Fortunately, the tourist season here extends beyond the summer and into the autumn, when various colorful light fixtures illuminate the streets. The rise of jovial Blackpool as a seaside destination began in the mid-1700s, reaching fever pitch in the early 1900s when it was the go-to seaside vacation spot, and the fun-loving atmosphere continues to this day.
