City Hall

In continuation of the City Hall holiday tree tradition, a 20-foot balsam fir, located on the southeast corner of City Hall, has been decorated along with the grounds and building. The balsam fir was planted and dedicated during the 2010 tree lighting ceremony to commemorate the Recreation and Parks Department’s 100th anniversary. Through December 24, children may deliver their special letter to Santa’s Workshop located on the Broad St. Plaza of City Hall.

Scioto Mile

Bicentennial Park, the Scioto Mile Promenade and City Hall feature more than 80,000 L.E.D. lights on over 60 trees showcasing a variety of lighting effects and seasonal decorations.
