City Hall
We light up the building for events which we have organised in City Hall or the grounds around City Hall. We will only accept other requests to light up City Hall in exceptional circumstances. For more information, email [email protected].
We illuminate City Hall in different colours for certain occasions. We list the occasions in 2026 on this page.
| Date | Occasion | Colour |
|---|---|---|
| 24 August | 35th anniversary of the Independence of Ukraine | Yellow and blue |
| 30 August | 20 years of Belfast Mela | Yellow and purple |
| 31 August | International Overdose Awareness Day 2026 | Purple |
| 1 September | Childhood Cancer Awareness | Gold |
Due to our festive lighting programme, we are unable to accommodate illumination requests between Friday 13 November 2026 and Friday 8 January 2027.
Belfast City Hall is a Grade A listed building. We use white light to illuminate the exterior most of the time, which is best for highlighting the building's beautiful architectural features.
Our LED lighting system at City Hall reduces our energy costs and allows us to light up the building in various colours and combinations.
