Holiday Lights

The Holiday Pop-Up shops will be open during Homewood’s Holiday Lights on December 6th & 7th. Holiday Lights has become a treasured event in Homewood, capturing the joy, excitement and traditions of the season in one memorable evening!

Holiday Lights runs 6:00-9:00 p.m. on Friday and 12:00 – 8:00 on Saturday.

Welcome the holidays as Homewood turns on the lights at this annual ceremony. Enjoy music, hot chocolate, a bon fire and visits from winter characters while awaiting the arrival of Santa. Give Santa your wish list at the Irwin Park Gazebo.

After the tree lighting ceremony, enjoy more festivities in downtown Homewood with the Christkindl Market. The holiday market will have live reindeer, delicious desserts, holiday tree sales, carolers, hot cider and mulled wine, ice sculpting demonstrations and an outdoor skating rink on Martin Avenue.

Travel on the festive trolleys, making stops at the shops in downtown Homewood. Check out the map for the locations of all the Holiday Lights activities, the Holiday Pop-Up Shops and restaurants in downtown Homewood.
