The Blaze of Lights is more than just a one-day event. In addition to the events taking place on Nov. 26, it includes these elements that continue nightly through Jan. 1:
• the Ream folk art holiday display
• the Gift of Giving light show extravaganza • Bluffton Main Street business district Christmas window displays • a tour of Bluffton’s residential yard lighting
The follies, a weekend of local entertainment held once upon a time in Bluffton were originally part of the Blaze of Lights.
They are back, thanks to Pat Rodabaugh. This year’s performances are at 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday, Nov. 25 and 26, in the Bluffton middle school cafetorium. Tickets are available at the door at $5 for adults, $3 for children and free for youth 3 and under.
Ticket sale proceeds are split between the Bluffton Hospital Auxiliary and the Bluffton Community Assistance food pantry.
