Ringing in the Holidays at Carillon Park

Celebrate the 75th anniversary of Carillon Park this Christmas!

The magic of the holiday season comes alive at Carillon Historical Park

Ringing in the Holidays has become a longstanding tradition at Carillon Historical Park.  Sample gourmet hors d’oeuvres and warm your spirits with specialty cocktails from the open bar.  This year, the event debuts as the official preview party for "A Carillon Chrismas", the park's month long holiday tradition!

Guests will enjoy an evening filled with exclusive, one-night-only experiences, including live carolers, bell wagon concerts by carillonneur Alan Bowman, and a special lighting-of-the-Park ceremony featuring the 200-foot-tall Carillon Tree of Light—Ohio’s largest. 

The fundraiser will also feature a silent auction and an array of festive foods and specialty cocktails served throughout the museum’s exhibits, including a martini ice luge. Because much of the evening takes place outdoors, guests are encouraged to dress for the weather.

Held the weekend before Thanksgiving, the expanded Ringing in the Holidays will also showcase many of the highlights that make A Carillon Christmas so magical, including Santa Claus, hot cider, hearth-baked gingerbread, fire-roasted chestnuts, thousands of lights, and the Carillon Park Railroad. Together, these beloved traditions capture Dayton’s holiday season spirit in a way that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.
