# Tree lighting in Dayton, 2026

> We found three Christmas tree lightings in and around Dayton whose organizer page shows a 2026 date, a time and a place. The first one on the list is Christmas in Historic Springboro on Nov 20. None of these pages says the lighting is free, so none of the cards calls it free. Three do not state a price.
