November 27th-January 1st

The best holiday escape in southeastern Ohio is “Gallipolis In Lights”, a holiday light display that is guaranteed to lift your holiday spirits this year. Thousands of lights fill the Gallipolis City Park from dusk till dawn, November 27th – January 1st.  Created each year by a group of dedicated community volunteers who light up the park like a scene from a romantic Christmas movie. Thanks to their determination and hard work, Gallipolis In Lights has been named a part of the Ohio Holiday Lights Trail for the seventh consecutive year! And in 2022 was named the the Today Show’s Merriest Main Street! Watch the video below!

Gallipolis In Lights begins each year with the Official Park Lighting, which will be held Wednesday, November 27th. Beginning at 5:30 PM, entertainment on stage, along with LIVE reindeer, and FREE hot chocolate and cookies! Then the lighting ceremony starts at 7:00ish PM at the Bandstand with the flipping of the lights switch. Following will be the annual fireworks display! *Subject to change*

Visitors can explore the lights display to find that perfect photo op as holiday music plays throughout the park. There is parking located all around the park so visitors can also stay toasty in their cars as they take in the beauty and magic. If you keep your eyes peeled you may get a sight of Ole’ Saint Nick, who is known to be seen riding around the park.

Downtown Gallipolis is also home to several unique small businesses that can help you find that perfect gift. Click here for a complete listing of shops.

Come out and compete for “know-it-all” bragging rights and chintzy prizes at Bossard Trivia Night.

Each month, take part in Bossard Library’s Trivia Night and see how much you know about current events, science, history, pop culture, and more. Trivia Nights usually occur on the first Tuesday of the month at 6:00 PM but can be scheduled for a different date and time.

Participants can play individually, be matched up with others to create a team, or bring a team of family and friends. The maximum number of participants for each team is 8 people. Clever but appropriate team names are encouraged.

This will be a multi-round competition with questions ranging from easy to challenging. Teams will submit answers on paper so no one will have to stand up in front of everyone, push a buzzer, or feel self-conscious.

Trivia begins promptly at 6:00 PM, so plan on arriving a few minutes before to get situated with your team.

Trivia Night is free and open to teens, adults, and families with children ages 13+.

The winning individual or team will receive a nominal prize, have their photo placed on the Library’s Facebook page and, most importantly, will own the bragging rights to Bossard Trivia Night for the month.

Light refreshments will be served.
