Christmas Vacation in Campbellsville Kentucky
If you’re looking for a good old-fashioned Christmas celebrated with “kith and kin”, Campbellsville in Taylor County Kentucky is the place to be. Gather your family – even your cousin Eddie – for a fun-filled holiday kick-off and a favorite among Campbellsville KY events.
You simply cannot miss Campbellsville’s annual Christmas parade, this year inspired by the classic movie “Christmas Vacation”. We can’t wait to see the creative floats, the zany characters and join in the laughter as we usher in the big guy himself…Santa! December 6, 6 pm.
Before the parade, the merriment begins with Reindeer Games, Candy Cane Relays, a Christmas Cash Scavenger Hunt, lots of food, great live music featuring Collin White, Kaylee Lawrence, & Jacob Hayes...and, of course, the lighting of the Campbellsville Christmas Tree. Beginning at 3 pm. Oh.What.Fun!
Plan a holiday getaway.
With all the hustle and bustle around the holiday season, a great respite for you and your loved ones is time spent relaxing together.

The holidays are a perfect time of year to visit this charming historic town while it’s all decorated and ready for festivities.

A beautiful place to really reduce your stress levels are the trails and natural spaces – over 50 miles of trails -- that make Campbellsville a certified Kentucky Trail Town.
