It began with an idea: create a place where our community could gather, enjoy the season and make holiday memories together. Now, Tipp the Halls is coming to life in downtown Tipp City.
People across the community have pitched in with their time, ideas, supplies and support. Volunteers are getting ready to clean and decorate the space, while local businesses and community partners are helping make the programming possible. To everyone who has been part of this so far, thank you. You’re helping make this first season happen.
There will be plenty of ways to be part of Tipp the Halls this season:

Most free programs require registration. Community gift wrapping is drop-in. Scan the Holiday in Tipp City QR code for event details, registration and tickets links as they become available.
A local Impact Award helped make the Tipp the Halls décor possible, and the Tipp City Foundation is supporting the free community programming. DTCP has also received a grant from the Miami County Visitors & Convention Bureau for a new project inside Tipp the Halls. We’re working on it with a local photographer and Vantage Signs, and we’ll share more soon.
Downtown Tipp City Partnership is dedicated to enhancing, preserving and promoting Tipp City by honoring its past and building its future.
