The Ribbon Cutting for

   Shine On Chillicothe - New Tree at Yoctangee Park   

Monday, December 22, 2025

Entrance to Yoctangee - Intersection of Water and Paint Street at 4:45PM

Join us on Tuesday, December 22nd at 4:45PM in Yoctangee Park for a special ribbon cutting celebrating the new Shine On tree, continuing the cherished tradition of our annual Tree Lighting. 

The original tree had reached the end of its life, but this new tree represents a fresh start — one that can grow with our community and shine brightly through future changes in the park. While the official Tree Lighting takes place on November 21st at 6pm, the lights will remain on the tree and throughout Yoctangee Park for the entire holiday season, bringing warmth and festive cheer to downtown Chillicothe. 

Join us to celebrate Shine On’s generosity, see the tree up close, and kick off another season of holiday magic in our community!

The Ribbon Cutting will take place at 12:00PM. We hope to see you there!
