Castle Rock Starlighting Event




This past Saturday marked the 73rd annual Starlighting Celebration in Castle Rock. What a great family event and kickoff to the holiday season this is! It seems like the entire town of Castle Rock turns out for this hometown celebration! There is a Santa's village where children get the opportunity to sit on Santa's lap and color photos of stockings hanging from a fireplace. There are local business booths, streets lined with shops dripping with sparkling Christmas lights, and even a live nativity scene with a real camel and donkeys! The evening's festivities really get going with the singing of Christmas carols and Santa flipping the big switch to turn on the giant star on the Castle Rock. The whole evening was topped off with a spectacular display of fireworks. Can't wait until next year's event!
