Oregon’s 37th Annual Candlelight Walk November 25th 2023

Our tradition of old fashioned

Holiday fun!

Thirty-seven years ago a group of merchants in Oregon’s Conover Square Mall combined their energies and created the 1st Candlelight Walk to celebrate the holiday season. Little did those businesses know that the event would grow to encompass the entire community and the celebration become recognized as one of the best small town holiday events in Illinois!  Thank you to those Conover Square businesses for their vision and creativity to create a lasting legacy for our community!

Throughout the years, family-focused events have been added allowing residents and visitors alike to share in the celebration. Conover Square remains a staple in the tradition offering special entertainment, guest performers, and special treats but we also want also invite you to visit all of our local Oregon businesses, celebrate our community tree-lighting ceremony, enjoy the horse-drawn wagon rides and local entertainment, get some special treats on Candy Cane Lane, find those unique gifts at the Holiday Gift Fair and Sip and Shop at The River’s Edge Experience, and visit Santa and have some special family fun at Kid’s Winter Carnival at the United Methodist Church. You will also want to make certain to register at local Red Bow merchants to win some special prizes!

Please plan to join us Saturday, November 25th , 3-8 p.m. as we celebrate Oregon’s 37th Annual Candlelight Walk. 

Featured evening staples:

When you’re done visiting Santa, be sure to check out the Sip-N-Shop, grab a cup of hot cocoa while waiting for your wagon ride, take the kids to the Winter Carnival, visit our NEW Nut Hut concession stand and so much more!
