Uptown for the Holidays is Athens\u2019 night filled with holiday fun on December 5<sup>th<\/sup>, 2025 from 6-8pm. More than just tree-lighting, the event features activities for the whole family\u2014and that includes Bobcats who are looking to get out of their off-campus student rental for the night.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sip on Hot Chocolate While You Create Ornaments<\/h2>\n<p>The Athens Chamber of Commerce hosts classes and events during Uptown for the Holidays that are perfect for any age. Get a mug full of delicious hot chocolate and take part in ornament decorating and crafting classes nearby at various locations.

And sure, you could watch all of those and more at home in your Ohio University college rental, but there\u2019s something about the full experience. Pop over to the Athena Cinema for special showings of holiday short films that are sure to put you in the mood.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Forget the Tree Lighting<\/h2>\n<p>The community tree that stands just outside the courthouse is one of the best parts of the event.
