Each holiday season, Franklin County Farm Bureau member John Hill welcomes guests to Hill Ridge Farms for the annual Festival of Lights celebration. During the festival, impressive light displays transform the farm into a winter wonderland as attendees enjoy covered wagon hayrides through the light show while listening to classic Christmas carols. The festival also features bonfires, s’mores, an 80-foot slide, a corn playhouse, train rides, music, an old-fashioned toy and candy store, and much more.

This year, the Festival of Lights runs nightly from Nov. 28 to Dec. 29. Admission is $10 from Monday to Wednesday and $12 from Thursday to Sunday and includes a hayride.
