Crown Point kicks off its holiday season with the Christmas on the Square tree lighting on Friday, Nov 27, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. on the east side of the historic Lake County Courthouse. The mayor lights the square's trees while the Crown Point High School Choir and Harmony Handbells perform, and hot chocolate and cookies are served to the crowd. The city, Chamber of Commerce, and Lake Court House Foundation dress the square with decorated community and business trees beginning in mid-November, so the whole downtown glows for the season. It is a warm, small-town way to start the holiday weekend, with the square's shops and restaurants open around you.
