Buffalo Trace Announces Lighting of the Trace on November 29

Buffalo Trace Distillery has announced that they will be kicking off the season on November 29th with a host of holiday festivities for their 20th year of celebrating the holidays. New this year will be a brand new route for their drive-through lights display.

Per Buffalo Trace, the opening night schedule will be as follows:

"Beginning at 5:30 p.m., a special candlelight tour of the Distillery will start, featuring

carolers from the choir at Kentucky State University along the tour route. 

Then, at 6:30 p.m. Franklin County Judge Executive, Huston Wells, will press the

“magic button” that will light up more than 145,000 lights across the Distillery, including

several new light features. 

Directly following the Lighting ceremony there will be pictures with Santa Claus in

the Clubhouse as the KSU choir sings more holiday carols. Cookies will also be served along with hot chocolate to keep you warm.

Beginning at 8 p.m. the Distillery’s drive-through light display will open for motorists

to drive through, ending at 10 p.m. Volunteers will be on hand to guide motorists through the new route."

If you aren't able to attend the kickoff, Santa will be back on December 6-8 from 6-8pm (I hope he brings me some E.H. Taylor). Visitors can drive through the Distillery grounds nightly to experience the lights and displays from dusk to 10 p.m. Nov. 30 through Jan. 1. If you are near Frankfort, this is an event that is definitely worth checking out!
