The Southern Lights Festival is November 20 – December 31 at the Kentucky Horse Park.

“Over twenty years ago, the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation presented the first ever driving tour of holiday lights, aimed at attracting the local community. Today Southern Lights has evolved to attract over 120,000 visitors each year from across Kentucky and surrounding states and is regularly chosen as a Top 20 Event in the Southeast by the Southeast Tourism Society.

Boasting over four miles of lights, Southern Lights continues to grow, adding additional holiday displays along the driven route and expanding its Holiday Festival attractions.

After driving through the lights, guests are invited to park and enjoy the attractions in the Park’s interior, which are designed to entertain every member of the family-from local crafts, model trains and mini train rides, visits with Santa, to the exotic petting zoo. Holiday Festival attractions are open every night except November 26 and December 24-31.”

The festival is open each night from 5:30 – 10 p.m.
