Bexley Holiday season with Christmas Tree Lighting and Menorah Lighting

Join the City of Bexley to celebrate the holiday season and support local businesses.

Enjoy the sights, sounds, and tastes of the holidays as they shop local, dine at Bexley restaurants, and revel in the season.

Bexley Holiday Tree Lighting

Head to the district on Sunday, December 4, 2022 from 4:30 – 6:30 pm for the festive Bexley Christmas Tree Lighting. 

Enjoy performances by Jeffrey Mansion Preschool, Bexley Middle School Choir, and the High School Vocal Ensemble Choir, along with hot chocolate, cookies, and candy canes. Mayor Kessler lights the tree with Santa Claus. Santa will be staying after the tree is lit for kids to meet with him!

Menorah Lighting at Drexel Circle in Bexley

Join the Bexley community for the annual Menorah Lighting at Drexel Circle on December 20 at 6 pm.

This year, we’ll hear remarks from Mayor Kessler before lighting the Menorah on the third night of Hanukkah with Rabbi Kaltmann of Chabad Columbus. This event is free and open to the public!

Bexley Letters to Santa

Drop off your letters to Santa at the North Pole Express mailbox in front of Jeffrey Mansion (165 N Parkview Ave). The mailbox is only available through December 5 to allow Santa and his elves to write back.

Remember to include a return address in order to receive a response.
