Licking County Courthouse Lighting

Licking County Courthouse Lighting The annual lighting of the Courthouse is the official start of the Christmas season in Licking County

The annual holiday lighting of the Courthouse is the official start of the Christmas season in Licking County. This year will mark the 73rd consecutive lighting, continuing a tradition that began in 1949. Generations of local families return every season for the annual lighting ceremony and to enjoy the warm glow of the holiday decorated Courthouse. Sponsored by the Licking County Courthouse Ligh

ting Committee. They oversee the installation, wiring and decorating of the Courthouse and the surrounding Courthouse Park. The Committee is continuing their efforts in the expensive conversion of the decorations and stringers from incandescent to more energy efficient longer lasting LED lights. Community contributions fund the LED upgrading of the bulbs, replacement of worn equipment and the removal of the decorations in January. The Lighting Committee organize the traditional arrival of Santa and a musical program on the Friday evening after Thanksgiving.
