Grand Rivers, Kentucky, located in Western Kentucky and nestled between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, is a great visit any time of the year, but Christmas is a must-visit time. Beginning the first week of November, “The Village Between The Lakes” is filled with three million Christmas Lights, and the sounds of clopping horse hooves pulling Victorian Carriages and Christmas music fill the air. Walking through the streets adorned with holiday decorations has been compared to being in a Hallmark® Christmas movie.

Patti’s 1880’s Settlement hosts their “Festival of Lights” throughout the holiday season. Spectacular light displays cover every structure and area in the Settlement, from the top of the tallest tree to the ground coverings. Numerous photo ops, from vintage sleighs to a forest of lit Christmas trees, create the perfect holiday photo, and that’s just outside. Inside the restaurant, each dining room is decorated with a holiday theme that transports guests to a magical holiday setting. Throughout town and the park, Christmas lights dance against the darkness of the night with a splendid glow. The waters of the marinas in the Village reflect the holiday cheer of thousands of lights that dress the boats that call the marinas home. 

 “Christmas Extravaganza” is more than the name of the live stage performance at the Badgett Playhouse. Professional musicians, dancers, and performers sing holiday classic favorites and new Christmas hits during the two-hour stage show. The Christmas show at the Playhouse in Grand Rivers has become a holiday tradition for families near and far. The special effects of snowfall, lighting, and audience participation make the “Christmas Extravaganza” an interactive Christmas experience for the young and young at heart.
