Buffalo Trace Lights up the Holidays With Its Annual “Lighting of the Trace”

December 11, 2024 By Dow Scoggins

FRANKFORT, Kentucky –  Buffalo Trace Distillery has once again become a festive destination for its 26th annual Holidays at the Trace celebration, taking place throughout December. This year’s event is bigger and brighter, featuring over 20,000 additional LED lights, a towering 35-foot Christmas tree adorned with more than 400 ornaments, and over 70 unique light installations across the grounds.

New for 2024: Spirited Nights
A highlight of this year’s celebration is the brand-new Spirited Nights, a 12-night immersive experience that goes beyond the traditional drive-through light display. Guests can enjoy walk-through attractions, including a 60-foot light tunnel and themed scenes like Santa’s workshop with elves testing toys. Expanded food and drink offerings include a Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream Hot Chocolate Bar, complimentary bourbon tastings, a cocktail bar featuring winter classics, and extended gift shop hours for holiday shopping.

Spirited Nights runs on the second and third weekends of December, with free registration required. More details can be found at Spirited Nights.

Returning Favorites: Drive-Through Light Show
The beloved drive-through light display also returns, featuring new additions such as a 16-foot animated gingerbread man and four buffalo light sculptures. This complimentary experience is open nightly from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM through December 31.

Holiday Shopping at Buffalo Trace
Visitors can complete their holiday shopping at the Distillery’s Gift Shop, offering a range of items like barware, apparel, specialty foods, and bottles. New for 2024 are the Buffalo Trace X Bettinardi Golf Putter & Cover, a limited-edition holiday sweater, and a holiday candle in a reusable rocks glass. Purchases can also be made online at Buffalo Trace Shop.

Making Memories at Buffalo Trace
“Holidays at the Trace is such a beloved tradition,” said Tyler Adams, Buffalo Trace Distillery General Manager. “We’re thrilled to offer the community even more to see and do this year. We hope families will celebrate the season with us and create lasting memories.”
