Holiday Tree Lighting at The Joseph

Celebrate the start of the holiday season with a free community gathering in the Short North. This festive evening features live music from the Columbus Symphony Quartet, a visit with Santa, and the official lighting of The Joseph's decorated holiday tree. Enjoy complimentary hot cocoa, milk, and cookies while taking in the holiday atmosphere with family and friends. No ticket or cover charge is required, and everyone—including walk-ins—is welcome to attend. The event also supports a good cause. Attendees are invited to bring items for Ronald McDonald House as part of a Wish List Drive, and holiday cocktails will be available for purchase with proceeds benefiting the organization. Food and beverages beyond the complimentary treats are available for purchase throughout the evening. Whether you're looking for a quick festive moment or planning to stay and soak in the seasonal spirit, this is a welcoming, no-pressure way to ring in the holidays with your family.
