Holidays at the Hill

The City of Noblesville has created a new holiday experience at Federal Hill Commons named “Holidays at the Hill,” that will run November 21 through the end of 2020. This year, in addition to the ice skating rink, visitors can enjoy a walking light tour, carriage rides, and holiday market.

 The temporary ice rink, with real ice, will open at 11 a.m. Saturday, November 21 and will close for the season on January 3, 2021. The 56-foot by 100-foot ice rink, will be located at the Market Plaza at Federal Hill Commons. 

Santa hours at the Christmas Cottage have been canceled and replaced with a “Home for the Holidays Tour” featuring Santa Claus. Residents interested in learning more about the Home for the Holidays Tour routes may visit www.cityofnoblesville.org/SantaTour. While Santa will not be available as part of the Holidays at the Hill festivities, the city is adding a special mailbox at the Christmas Cottage. Santa will be checking it to read all of the letters dropped off by children with their holiday wishes.

The expanded Holidays at the Hill event will include new lighting installations in the event lawn, a warming shelter, and Celtic Pretzel food truck, in addition to the Ice Plaza and Santa Cottage. Other new activities include:
