This Small Town In Kentucky Goes Big For The Holidays

There’s no shortage of holiday spirit in the Bluegrass. From our big cities to small towns, Kentucky goes big for the holiday season! In fact, there’s one small town in Kentucky that’s positively bursting with Christmas spirit. Light Up LaGrange is a big holiday event in a tiny Kentucky town that’s proof positive that the heart and soul of the Bluegrass State really is, in fact, in our smallest towns.

La Grange is an all-around small-town superstar that offers visitors a fun and wholesome Bluegrass experience. Most notably, LaGrange is known as the only town in America that has an active train running along its Main Street.
