Glimmer Nights Show Opens November 29th

COOPERSTOWN—Tickets are now on sale for “Glimmer Nights” at Fenimore Farm & Country Village (formerly The Farmers’ Museum). This annual holiday light show opens the day after Thanksgiving, November 29, and runs Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings through December 29. This year, visitors will find a larger selection of light displays, free carousel rides, themed evenings, and more. New, family-friendly ticket prices make this second season of Glimmer Nights even more appealing, and kids six and under are admitted free.

At Glimmer Nights, visitors will find a wide assortment of holiday light displays, starting at the site’s iconic Main Barn, where they can get a photo with the enormous Mega-Chicken light display before heading over to the Empire State Carousel for a free ride.

A short walk through the multi-colored lights of Rainbow Road leads to Fenimore Farm’s historic Country Village. There, the Tavern Green will be filled with a giant light display resembling a traditional quilt pattern. Visitors can walk among the larger-than-life flora of the Flower and Mushroom Garden display, stop at Todd’s General Store to pick up some 19th-century stocking stuffers, and then wander over to Bump Tavern to warm their toes by the fireplace while sipping a Crossroads Café hot chocolate. A memorable stroll through the Tunnel of Lights caps off the night.

This year, Glimmer Nights will feature themed evenings: “Dickens Weekend,” Saturday and Sunday, December 7-8, and “Wassail Evenings,” Friday and Saturday, December 13-14. Go to //FenimoreFarm.org/glimmernights for more details.

Glimmer Nights runs Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings starting Friday, November 29, and ending Sunday, December 29. Entry times: 4:30, 5:00, 5:30, 6:00, 6:30 and 7:00 p.m. (Grounds close at 8:00 p.m.) Tickets can be purchased online at FenimoreFarm.org.
