KaLightoscope, a Christmas experience like no other

KaLightoscope Christmas is returning for the 2011 holiday season, only in Louisville. Taking place November 17, 2011-January 3, 2012, this unique holiday event invites attendees to experience Christmas like never before.

Spread throughout the spacious Galt House Hotel, KaLightoscope Christmas will include an array of holiday events and activities, such as:

A heart-warming dinner show, Colors of the Season, specifically created for KaLightoscope Christmas by Gary Musick Products of Nashville, Tennessee. Opening simply in the living room of a couple awaiting the holidays, the setting soon transforms into a magical world of lights and color as the cast presents a joyous revue of favorite songs.

All new Christmas Village-Featuring the All New Fairy Snow Castle

Santa’s PartyPalooza, featuring cookie decorating, face painting, games, and dancing with Santa’s Elves.

Breakfast with Santa and the Christmas Fairy.

The Mistletoe Marketplace, featuring items from signature Louisville stores and regional artisans. Choirs, bands, and orchestras are invited to perform in the Mistletoe Marketplace!

The Learning Center offers cultural enrichment experiences with the Chinese Artisans along with a behind the scenes look at the making of the luminaries.

The world’s largest, life-size Gingerbread Village.

The highlight of the event is KaLightoscope, a spectacular walk-through Christmas luminary experience like nothing else in the United States.

KaLightoscope features larger-than-life luminaries and handcrafted by more than 30 Chinese artisans from Zigong, China. The 15,000 square foot KaLightoscope event features a variety of holiday-themed sections. More than six miles of colored and patterned fabrics and four miles of rope and internal lighting adorn the individual luminary sculptures, ranging in size from 15’-17’ tall and 9’-20’ wide.

The unique sensory experience magnifies the sights, sounds and colors of the Christmas season. Your groups will cherish the memories of this wonderful holiday extravaganza.

Louisville has many other holiday add-ons that will compliment any trip to KaLightoscope such as Lights Under Louisville at Louisville Mega Cavern, Reindeer Races at Kentucky Derby Museum, Charlie Brown Christmas at the Louisville Slugger Museum or Holidays Around the World at the Frazier History Museum.
