SUGARCREEK, Ohio – Dutchman Hospitality Group invites everyone to the Dutch Valley campus for an evening of wholesome holiday fun.
The second-annual Dutch Valley Christmas Tree Lighting is Friday, Nov. 14th, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Free cookies, hot cocoa, and take-home activities for kids will be available while supplies last. There will be a live nativity with animals from Sunset Acre Farms. The cast of Ohio Star Theater’s upcoming production of A Christmas Carol will perform holiday songs throughout the evening. Then, at 6:15, everyone will gather around the tree for a candle lighting ceremony before the campus lights up for the season.
“After the positive reception by our community and guests last year, we are excited to kick off the Christmas season once again by bringing the campus and our 2026 Christmas Tree to life,” said DHG President Mike Miller. “Following the tree lighting ceremony, please join us for a special screening of Angel Studios’ film King of Kings at Ohio Star Theater. All proceeds will benefit Safe Harbor and the amazing work they are doing.”
King of Kings follows the story of Charles Dickens sharing the story of Jesus to his son, Walter. Tickets are $12 ages 13 and up and $8 for younger children, available at the door and online at OhioStarTheater.com.
Dutch Valley is located off Route 39, just east of Sugarcreek. Consider arriving early to enjoy a meal at Dutch Valley Restaurant and explore the beautifully decorated shops, which will be offering special deals for the occasion.
