Tree Trimming Party

The Duke Energy Holiday Tree makes its grand entrance at Fountain Square on Saturday, November 9th! Celebrate with us at a festive Tree Trimming Party in the WGU Warming Tent while the tree is installed from 8am to 12pm. We will lead a free ornament crafting activity for patrons from 10a - 12p.

The UC Health Ice Rink, presented by Fifth Third Bank will be open for skating on Saturday with FREE admission from 8a-10a as the tree is installed. If arriving after 10a, rink admission is $10 and includes skate rental.

The Duke Energy Holiday Tree serves as the centerpiece of 2024 Duke Energy Light Up the Square event which will take place on Friday, Nov. 29th, from 6pm to 10pm.

Thank you to our tree sponsors, Duke Energy, O'Rourke Wrecking Company, Trade 31, and Cincinnati Parks & Recreation.
