Life-Sized Snow Globe

Thursday, November 7th
We’ve decided to shake things up for Candlelight this year, and we’re thrilled to bring the magic of the season to the heart of Downtown Frankfort!

Join us on Thursday night, November 7, at our new location on the Old Capitol lawn, right in the center of all the Candlelight festivities. We’ll be featuring a Giant Snow Globe as a festive photo booth, where guests can step inside a winter wonderland. A photographer will be on-site to capture the memories and print photos, creating a keepsake for everyone who visits. Plus, Santa himself will be there to light the Christmas tree and add an extra sprinkle of holiday magic!

The Giant Snow Globe will only be available on November 7th from 5:00 to 8:00 PM. No tickets required, first come first served!

*Subject to change based on weather.

Ugly Sweater Sip & Shop

Friday, November 8th 

Get ready for a night of festive fun at the Downtown Frankfort Holiday Ugly Sweater Sip & Shop during Candlelight Weekend! Put on your tackiest, most outrageous holiday sweater and come downtown for a delightful evening of shopping and holiday-themed cocktails.

Take in the festive sights, and enjoy holiday cocktails as you shop your way through Downtown Frankfort! This event will run from 5:00 to 9:00 PM. 

Explore all the fantastic downtown shops, many of which will be offering special holiday deals and features for the evening. And there’s more: participate in the Sip & Shop Passport Challenge! Visit at least 3 participating cocktail or shopping stops, get your passport stamped, and turn it in at our Passport mailbox or at our High Street branch for a chance to win a prize!

This is the perfect (and most fun!) way to get your holiday shopping started. Sponsored by Commonwealth Credit Union, this evening promises to be full of holiday cheer. See you there!


Kids' Day at the Farmers Market

Saturday, November 9th

On Saturday from 8:00 AM to Noon, we're excited to sponsor Kids' Day at the Franklin County Farmers Market once again! Thanks to our sponsorship, children attending the market will receive a special token to spend on an item of their choice. We will also have fun activities like a scavenger hunt, reindeer food, and letters to Santa planned for the little ones.

Letters to Santa

Want to make sure your kids' letters get to the big guy? Bring them with you and drop them off in our special North Pole mail box. You can even print this letter off to help them get started.
