Merry Christmas from Main Street Chillicothe

Last Updated 12/18/2024


As the holiday season fills downtown with warmth and cheer, Main Street Chillicothe would like to extend our heartfelt wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to our entire community.

This time of year reminds us of the importance of family, friends, and the joy of coming together. Our downtown businesses, adorned with festive decorations and brimming with holiday spirit, are here to make your season bright. Whether you're shopping for the perfect gift, sharing a delicious meal, or simply enjoying the charm of our historic district, we hope you’ll take time to make special memories downtown.

From the glowing downtown lights to the iconic Neon Santa shining from the library and the holiday music chiming from the courthouse, downtown Chillicothe truly captures the magic of the season. This year, we are especially grateful for the incredible support of our residents, visitors, and downtown patrons. Your love for our community fuels the work we do to make Chillicothe a vibrant and welcoming place.

Main Street Chillicothe proudly sponsors holiday traditions like the Memory Tree Dedication and Lighting, Kids Christmas at the Courthouse, the Holiday Hot Cocoa Crawl, and the Jingle Beds décor competition. These events are designed to bring people together, create lasting memories, and celebrate the unique sense of place that defines our town.

Chillicothe is special because of the people who live, work, shop, dine, and play here. Our historic downtown matters, and it wouldn’t be what it is without you. Thank you for being part of our story and for helping to make this season—and our community—so magical.

As we close out this year, we look forward to 2025 and the opportunities it will bring to strengthen and celebrate our downtown. Thank you for making Main Street Chillicothe part of your holidays.

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
