Castle Rock Starlighting returns on November 22, 2025, celebrating its rich tradition in the heart of downtown. From 2–6 pm, locals and visitors gather for a Norman Rockwell–style ceremony blending festive community spirit with sparkling holiday charm. Activities for all ages include live caroling, dancing, visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus, kids’ games and crafts, nonprofit booths, local food trucks, and the iconic chili supper at the Firehouse.
At 5 pm, join the countdown as the star atop Castle Rock is illuminated—followed by a dazzling fireworks display that marks the official beginning of the holiday season. With free admission and warm family vibes, Starlighting is a can’t-miss annual event that brings neighbors together to kick off the season of light.
