Easton Town Center hosts its 21st annual Holiday Lighting Ceremony Nov. 22 for a family-friendly holiday event that’s sure to please.
This Holiday Lighting Ceremony in Easton’s Town Square is a crowd favorite tradition. Thousands of visitors travel to Columbus every holiday season to experience this magical event.
The night starts with an incredible holiday parade that kicks off the festivities at 7:00 p.m. and features gigantic balloons that float down the streets. Following the parade Santa, and a special guest, arrive to unveil and illuminate Easton’s 50-foot digital Christmas tree. The beautiful tree features over 7,500 lights and 1,000 ornaments. Over 1.3 million additional are lit throughout the town center creating a warm holiday glow.
Children are encouraged to dress up as their favorite winter characters for photos with Santa. When you arrive, you can check in with Saint Nick’s helpers to secure your spot in line. You’ll receive a text when it’s time to meet him instead of waiting in a long line.
