The 74th annual Courthouse Christmas Lighting Campaign has kicked-off its annual community fundraising. The annual Christmas Holiday celebration on Friday, November 25th  brings thousands of residents downtown Newark for the festivities!

The 2022 fund raising campaign has a community goal of $40,000.  The money raised will be used for the decorating of the Courthouse Square and the In-Person and Live Streamed Christmas program.
