Moonlight and Mistletoe Shopping Event
Downtown Tipp City merchants are coming together to host a special after hours holiday shopping experience on Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. during the Moonlight & Mistletoe celebration.
Shops throughout our walkable historic district will stay open late, welcoming guests with festive décor, unique holiday finds, and the warm hospitality that has made Tipp City a beloved storybook destination. Visitors can explore boutiques, specialty shops, and local favorites while enjoying the glow of downtown at night.
The evening will feature specialty DORA drinks, lit horse drawn wagon rides, shopping discounts, and the unmistakable charm of our picturesque Main Street. With twinkling lights, beautifully decorated storefronts, and the magic of the season in the air, this is one holiday outing you will not want to miss.
Moonlight & Mistletoe is designed to give shoppers a relaxed way to discover gifts, support local businesses, and enjoy the downtown experience at its very best.
See you downtown.
