40th Annual Bardstown Road Aglow
40th annual Bardstown Road Aglow will feature holiday light-up festivities in the Highlands of Louisville, Kentucky
We hope you'll join us for the 40th annual Bardstown Road Aglow on Saturday, December 6, 2025, beginning at noon until 10 p.m. This festive and fun event supports local businesses by boosting holiday sales at Highlands restaurants and shops.
