2025 Candy Cane Hunt
The annual Candy Cane Hunt presented by Banterra Bank will be held Saturday, December 6 on the front lawn of the National Quilt Museum, 215 Jefferson Street. The entire event is free. Children ages 10 and under will race to find as many candy canes as they can and take part in a Coloring Contest. Registration starts at 11:45 a.m. The children will be divided into different age groups as they race to collect the more then 5,000 candy canes.
There will be three hunts for different age groups at the following times:
- 12:30 pm for ages 3 & under
- 12:45 pm for ages 4 - 6
- 1:00 pm for ages 7 - 10
Children can take part in the Coloring Contest anytime from noon until 1:15 pm. They can color their sheet onsite and turn it in before leaving. Winners will be announced the week after the event with prizes for the winning entries.
2nd Street will be closed to traffic between Jefferson and Monroe Street for the safety of our participants. We encourage you to park at the Farmers' Market parking lot with the entrance on the intersection of 2nd and Monroe.
The Candy Cane Hunt was awarded Kentucky Recreation & Park Society's Class IV Program of the Year in 2019.
