Light Up Livingston
Nov 25 at 4:00pm - Nov 25 at 7:00pm
All are welcome to the Livingston Tourism Business Improvement District's 3rd Annual Light Up Livingston Celebration on Saturday, November 25, 2023 from 4-7 pm. This event is in conjunction with Small Business Saturday and we encourage everyone to enjoy the wonderful shops, restaurants and bars in Downtown Livingston before and after the Light Up Livingston festivities.
All are invited to this free community event to kick off the magical holiday season in Livingston. There are many giveaways and the only costs are for food and drinks. The Depot Park trees will be lit during the event with over 100,000 lights on 36 trees and they will Light Up Livingston through the New Year, thanks to the Holiday Lights Committee and donors, and Downtown is lit up with 90 large light pole snowflake lights thanks to the Downtown Livingston Business Improvement District, Tourism Business Improvement District and Holiday Lights Committee.

Everyone is encouraged to shop, eat, drink and be merry at Downtown and area businesses. When you spend locally in Livingston, your dollars circulate seven times in the community, so we applaud everyone who supports Livingston’s small business economy.
We look forward to a bright and beautiful holiday season full of events and opportunities to support Livingston businesses.
