The night will include pictures with Santa, a live nativity, crafts, model trains, treats, and more.
It is free and open to the public.
This year’s theme is, “A Christmas Campus Story: Bringing cheer for 60 years.”
The event begins at 5:30 p.m. with a tree-lighting ceremony and continues until 8 p.m. tonight.
A mass will take place at Holy Angels Church on Brown Street in Dayton beginning at 9:30 p.m.
