In keeping with Bluffton traditions, the 37th annual Blaze of Lights festivities will take place on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 25. That makes it approximately as old as Black Friday shopping promotions. Shop Small Saturday is a comparative baby: it jumped on the bandwagon in 2010.
The 37th annual Blaze of Lights holiday celebration, including the lighting of the Ream collection of vintage Christmas folk art, is scheduled for Saturday, November 25 in downtown Bluffton, Ohio.
The Ream display and thousands of lights in the surrounding trees will be illuminated for nightly viewing on the lawn of Bluffton Presbyterian Church, 102 N. Main Street, Bluffton from November 25-January 1. The Bluffton community joins in the Blaze spirit with numerous residential holiday light displays and folk-art decorations throughout the village.
