Huge installations and giant light projections have brought thousands of people into a city centre.
More than 60 performances in the two-day Light Night Leeds festival, which started on Thursday, are to transform the city for its 15th year.
Various landmarks are being used as the background for the annual free arts and light festival with contributions from artists around the world.
The event got under way with a parade of light and sound along the Headrow and through the city centre.
