PUEBLO, CO — A countdown to a community celebration begins in Pueblo this month. The Pueblo County Courthouse Lighting Ceremony is just days away.

The annual ceremony kicks off the holiday season in Pueblo with fireworks, a large light show, music, and more. The Courthouse Lighting dates back to 2001 when then Pueblo County Commissioner, Matt Puelen, recommended the positive community event following the 2001 September 11th attacks.

Mr. Puelen passed away in 2021, but the city has continued to hold this event, even during the COVID-19 pandemic.
