Experience the holidays in a new yet classic way in Coshocton and Historic Roscoe Village.
Leave behind the hustle and bustle and discover the charm of small-town holidays. Find out what Christmas was like in the 1800s, experience an old-fashioned candlelighting ceremony, rejoice in a choir concert featuring over 100 musicians, and source unique gifts in the charming shops of Historic Roscoe Village.
Visit Historic Roscoe Village for a Hallmark holiday experience. The 54th Annual Historic Roscoe Village Christmas Candlelighting Days takes place on December 7th and 14th. Walk the brick-lined sidewalks with a cup of cider or cocoa and see the village decked with greenery, twinkle lights, and live trees. Arrive early for visits with Santa, roasted chestnuts, shopping, and dining, then attend the evening Candlelighting Ceremony, which begins at 6pm. Gather together in the center of the village, pass a flame between candles, and watch as the 30-foot Christmas tree is lit. Listen to stories and carols and sing Silent Night; it’s a beautiful demonstration of peace and community between friends, old and new.
Hear the voices of more than 100 singers as they present the 52nd Annual Coshocton Community Choir Christmas Concert on Sunday, December 8th at 3:00pm at River View High School. Each year, the concert tells the Christmas story through narration and song, including The Roscoe Brass, soloists, and instrumentalists. This year’s theme is “A Light Shining.” Admission is free, so all may attend.
For the second year, the Coshocton County Courthouse light display will delight the entire family. Park your car and use its radio to hear holiday music synched to the illumination. The show repeats on the half hour starting at 5:30 every evening from late November through New Year’s Eve.
