The 36th annual Blaze of Lights is bringing back traditions for everyone to celebrate Plan on the traditional Reams folk art collection being lit after a traditional parade on Saturday, November 25, 2023.

The village of Bluffton, Ohio, displays a lighted collection of vintage Christmas folk art on the lawn of Bluffton
The display is just 2-4 minutes from exits 140 and 142 on I-75.
Amid towering lighted evergreens, the Ream folk art display turns the downtown business district into a sparkling destination for the month of December. Now featured on Ohio.org's Holiday Lights Trail, the village added almost 1.5 miles of light strands in 2018.
