A view of the Blaze after the parade - enjoy our photos
The Blaze of Lights is more than just one evening. It's an entire month of lights in Bluffton.
MORE PHOTOS AT BOTTOM OF STORY.
The Icon shares some of the photos taken after the Blaze parade. Views includes some of the Dancers' Elite dance troupe, the horse and wagon ride, watching children talk with Santa and Mrs. Claus (from outside the senior center), and Jim Boedicker performing on stage.
Several other light shows are open for viewers in Bluffton. One is the Gift of Giving light show extravaganza. In its eighth season, the show is located on East College Avenue, across from Harmon Field stadium.
The show can be viewed nightly from 6 to 11 p.m. through Jan. 1. The light show, created by the late Ropp Triplett, attracts over 5,000 viewers each December.
