About this event

Celebrate the start of the holiday season with dazzling performances, fireworks and more. This year’s Tree Lighting Ceremony will be bigger and better, featuring even more activities along Fifth Street stretching to Elm Street Plaza, the new home of the UC Health Ice Rink presented by Fifth Third Bank.
What to expect
The high point is the lighting of the Duke Energy holiday tree, a 52-foot fir, followed by fireworks. Performances and activities fill Fountain Square, with more along Fifth Street leading to Elm Street Plaza. The plaza is also home to the UC Health Ice Rink presented by Fifth Third Bank, which moved there from Fountain Square.
Why go
The holiday tree at Fountain Square has been part of Cincinnati's winters for more than a century, and this lighting marks the start of the season. Because the festivities stretch from the square to Elm Street Plaza, the evening covers several blocks rather than one stage. It suits anyone who wants the downtown holiday season in one walkable night.
