2020 Light Up Louisville
Downtown Louisville Louisville, Kentucky

Light Up Louisville
Light Up Louisville has been a tradition for 39 years for thousands of residents and visitors to our city.
Holiday lights will go up at Metro Hall and City Hall, and a brightly lit Christmas tree will be set up on the grounds of Metro Hall. The light display, set up largely by Axxis Inc., will include a rainbow of colors to celebrate Christmas, Kwanza, and Hanukah, reflecting the diversity of the community. Holiday-themed gobos will also be displayed on Metro Hall. The Mayor is also encouraging residents and businesses to put up their own rainbow of colors at their homes and workplaces.
Here Comes Santa Claus! Instead of having people come downtown for the annual Light Up countdown and an appearance by Santa, the city is sending Santa out into the community. In partnership with 106.9 Play FM and Neil Huffman Subaru, as well as LG&E and AT&T, Santa and his caravan will travel through approximately 20 neighborhoods, selected through nominations from area residents, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 27-28 and Dec. 5, 12 and 19. Christmas music will be playing, and a large mobile video screen will play highlights from previous Light Up Louisville events as Santa’s caravan drives through the selected neighborhoods. Follow this link to nominate your neighborhood for a Santa stop.
