Franklin REC is excited to once again bring holiday cheer to our community with Light Up the Night! This annual tradition transforms downtown Hampton into a winter wonderland of sparkling lights, festive activities, and holiday spirit for all ages.
Join us on Friday, November 29 for this year’s celebration. The full event itinerary is still being finalized and will be shared here as soon as it’s available. In the meantime, make plans to come out and enjoy an evening filled with lights, fun, and holiday magic. Stay connected and follow Franklin REC on social media for the latest event updates.
One of the highlights of the evening is our lighted holiday parade, and we invite local groups, organizations, and community members to be part of the fun! Decorate a float, tractor, vehicle, or walk in the parade—the more lights, the better. Parade rules and the liability waiver can be found linked below.
This special community tradition wouldn’t be possible without the support of local partners and organizations who help make the event shine year after year—thank you for joining us in spreading holiday cheer!
