The magic of the holidays downtown doesn’t stop with our annual Christmas-themed festival. There’s plenty to see and enjoy in Downtown Florence throughout the holiday season:

Downtown Music and Light Experience

Every evening beginning on the first Friday in December, enjoy a holiday light and music spectacular on S. Dargan Street. Entering its eighth year, the downtown music and light experience is a family favorite walk-through event. Each year the display and music are a bit different and admission is always free. Parking is available in the City of Florence parking garage. The show runs through December 31 beginning at 5:30 p.m. nightly and ending at 10:00 p.m.

Holiday Photo-Ops

Be sure to check out our polar bears, reindeer, and holiday penguin photo ops while you shop downtown for the holidays. The photo-ops are placed throughout the Historic District and are available for use through December 31.
