Event Details

The community is invited to join the Paducah Board of Commissioners for a Tree Lighting Ceremony on Tuesday, November 18, 2025. The celebration will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Water Street in front of the large floodwall opening between Broadway and Jefferson Street, with the official tree lighting at the end of the celebration.

To kick off the 2025 holiday season, the Paducah Board of Commissioners will “flip the switch” to illuminate the 26-foot-tall Christmas tree.

Enjoy special musical performances and more. Library staff will be there with a craft for kids and families. 

Water Street between Broadway and Jefferson will be closed to vehicular traffic for the event.

Lights across downtown will glow for the holiday season, including Locomotive 1518 near the Carson Center, trees and shrubs along Broadway, and Paducah City Hall.

Plus, as you are around town, be sure to enjoy holiday pole decorations on Jefferson Street and Walter Jetton Boulevard.
