The event will be held over three evenings – Thursday February 23, Friday February 24 and Saturday February 25. Time slots are from 6.45pm to 9pm each day.
Tickets provide access to all the venues on the same night.
The event will start at Carlisle Cathedral, followed by Tullie House and then ending at Carlisle Castle with sound and light projected on to buildings.
With the support of Cumbria County Council, the event will also see key historic buildings illuminated including the Citadel and Court Square.
City of Lights is organised by the Discover Carlisle team, part of Carlisle City Council, and Luxmuralis in association with Cumbria County Council. It is supported by the Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
Carlisle City councillor Stephen Higgs, portfolio holder for culture, heritage and leisure, said: “The 2023 event will incorporate the inside of Carlisle Cathedral as well as outside the Fratry and will bring a new element to the event.
