About This Event
Castle Rock's biggest night of the year and the start of the holiday season. Downtown fills up all afternoon for the Starlighting, and at dusk the Star on the bluff above town is lit, followed by fireworks. The ceremony is at 5:00 p.m. and the Star goes on around 5:30 p.m. Free to attend, and it draws thousands, so get downtown early for parking. Note that Starlighting falls on the Saturday BEFORE Thanksgiving, not after. It kicks off the Season of the Star, which runs through late January.
