PATTI’S FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS TURNS A KENTUCKY EVENING INTO A CHRISTMAS MEMORY 🎄✨
As night falls over Grand Rivers, Kentucky, Patti’s 1880’s Settlement becomes a place to slow down, wander beneath holiday lights, and enjoy Christmas with someone you love.
The season begins Friday, November 6, 2026, with Grand Rivers’ first annual Lighted Christmas Parade at 6 PM. Illuminated floats, decorated vehicles, bands, and community groups will bring holiday cheer down Main Street before Patti’s lighting ceremony at 7 PM.
Then comes the moment everyone is waiting for: Santa’s arrival, live music, and the settlement glowing with millions of twinkling lights.
Make time for dinner, browse the settlement’s shops, and let the evening become more than a quick photo stop. For an extra-special outing, horse-drawn Christmas carriage rides are scheduled on weekends from November 6 through January 1, with reservations available.
