CIRCLEVILLE, OH – The holiday season is officially underway, and Circleville is ready to shine brighter than ever before. This year’s Christmas in Circleville promises to deliver festive cheer, cherished traditions, and a reminder to shop local during the most magical time of the year.
In partnership with Uptown Circleville, the City of Circleville, the Circleville Pumpkin Show, and the Pickaway County Chamber of Commerce, the holiday events will bring the community together for an unforgettable season.
Santa’s New Home at Ted Lewis Park
One of the most exciting changes this year is the relocation of Santa’s House to Ted Lewis Park (443 N. Court St., Circleville). Thanks to recent upgrades, the park now offers a pedestrian-friendly design and more accessible parking, creating the perfect setting for holiday festivities.
“Santa’s House has been a passion project for us,” said Shawna Hartsaugh, representing the Circleville Eagles. “We’re so excited to see it come to life at its new location in Ted Lewis Park, and we can’t wait to welcome families to make holiday memories.”
Santa will be available for visits during the following hours:

Supporting local businesses is at the heart of Circleville’s holiday spirit. “Shopping local not only strengthens our economy but also creates a sense of connection and pride in our community,” said Jenny Rhoads of Uptown Circleville. “By choosing to shop local this holiday season, you’re supporting your neighbors, friends, and the unique small businesses that make Circleville special.”
