Light Up Somerset

Bundle up and enjoy the coziest night under the lights of charming, historic Uptown Somerset. Eat uptown, grab fresh-popped kettle corn, shop the Christkindl market and local boutiques, and enjoy the magic.

The fun continues into the evening as the streets close at 5 PM, ushering in the traditional holiday parade in a caravan to light the Christmas Tree in front of the Somerset County Courthouse.
