Annual Lighting of The Licking County Courthouse

Head to Newark on the day after Thanksgiving for the Annual Lighting of the Licking County Courthouse on Friday, November 29, 2019 at 6pm.

The beautiful Licking County Courthouse looks AMAZING all lit up, and courthouse square is filled with larger than life Christmas displays. Enjoy a festive holiday evening of entertainment including a variety of musical guests, carols, and Santa Claus!

Come early for the Holiday Bazaar at the Canal Market District from 3 pm – 6:30 pm. Shop with over 40 vendors and pick up some Christmas gifts and amazing baked goods. Food trucks will be on site to dine from before the Courthouse lighting, or dine at one of the suggestions below!

After the lighting ceremony, head over to Little Arrows Play Cafe (29 W. Church Street) with the kids for the Courthouse Lighting Celebration from 7:30 – 8:30 pm! Enjoy cookie decorating, crafts, free play, hot apple cider, and live music. Olaf will be there and the kids will have a blast!
