Begun by Roscoe Village matriarch Frances B. Montgomery, the December 12th Christmas

Candlelighting ceremony is the 40th anniversary of this event in Roscoe Village Ohio.

This heart-warming and beautiful ceremony features the evening lighting of the village Christmas Tree and the passing of the light from candle-to-candle through the crowd as the choir leads the singing of “Silent Night.”  [See the video at right]

As Mrs. Montgomery always intended, the Candlelighting Ceremony is a free event for all, and visitors are cordially invited to enjoy the whole day in the Village.

And Roscoe Village merchants have made special arrangements for special activities for children throughout the day, including horse-drawn sleigh rides and visits with Santa.

The Roscoe Village Christmas Tree and Candlelighting Ceremony begins with a special dedication and free cookies and mulled-cider drinks at 6:00 p.m. 

Don’t forget to meet honorary candle lighter Bill Hixson at The Garden Gate Shop from noon-6:00 p.m.
