What are some other magical unique holiday festivals in Kentucky?
Grand Rivers Festival of Lights is another unique holiday festival in KY.
The dazzle of holiday lights and all of the festive activities during the final months of the year are some of the best things about the season. Many Kentucky towns transform throughout the month of November and are fully decked out in holiday cheer before Christmas arrives. One lakefront destination happens to be one of the best places to celebrate Christmas in the South, and it would make for a magical getaway this holiday season. Grand Rivers Festival of Lights offers plenty of sparkling lights and festive events, so consider a visit this year. Patti's is *the* place to be in Grand Rivers, and this amazing destination is known for its extensive Christmas light display. Over 1.5 million lights twinkle and shine each year at Patti's Settlement, an event that's been lauded as one of the best holiday light displays not only in Kentucky but in the entire country!
Aside from Patti's, Grand Rivers is also famous for its lighthouse and lakefront location... as you wander by the water, you might even catch some boats decorated, or perhaps even a Kentucky Christmas Island!
