Drive-thru light shows, other family fun events happening around Kentuckiana

With COVID-19 hindering holiday plans for everyone, here are some safe things to do during the season.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Light Up Louisville

The usual grand celebration to kick off the holidays won't take place this year but city leaders are taking a different approach to keep people safe during COVID-19. 

A light display featuring a “rainbow” of colors to celebrate Christmas, Kwanzaa and Hanukkah which will represent the city’s diversity. 

Santa and his caravan will travel through 20 neighborhoods, selected through nominations from area residents from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 27 and Nov. 28 and then again on Dec. 5, Dec. 12 and Dec. 19.
