Downtown Beautification
2025 Lights on the River
A holiday glow-up is happening in Owego! Historic Owego Marketplace, with support from Tioga County Economic Development and Planning, has purchased new snowflakes, bows, and garland to add a little extra sparkle to our streets.
And what's the holiday season without a Christmas tree? A beautiful tree, generously donated by Silverwind Farms, is now in Courthouse Square!
Next time you're in Owego, take a stroll downtown and check out the festive new decorations. Better yet, join us for Lights on the River on December 4th and see it all come to life with holiday lights, fireworks, and a visit from Santa!
