Tree Lighting

Join Hilliard's annual Tree Lighting celebration and ring in the holiday season with your family! This free event spans three hours and features activities throughout downtown, including horse and carriage rides, stilt walkers, and balloon artists. A complimentary trolley will shuttle visitors between three locations: Hilliard's Station Park, Main Street, and the Historical Village at Weaver Park, making it easy to explore everything without worrying about getting around. Parking is free at the Franklin County Fairgrounds and in the lots on Madison and Wayne streets, so you can settle in and enjoy the evening without stress. Whether your kids are into interactive entertainment or you simply want to soak in the festive atmosphere together, there's something for everyone at this community-wide celebration.
