Thanksgiving Dinner November 23, 2024

Each year the New Castle Lions Club provides a free Thanksgiving dinner to New Castle residents. In many communities, such dinners are provided by charities to diners who would otherwise not have a holiday meal. The Lions dinner is different. While of course those in need are welcomed, but so is everyone else. All New Castle residents are invited to share a meal together and welcome in the holiday season.

On Friday, December 6, from 5:30 to 8:00 pm, the final town event of the year will fill Burning Mountain Park. The annual Chili Cook-off and Mac and Cheese competition will be combined with the Tree Lighting celebration. The Christmas season kick-off will also feature photos with Santa in the gazebo and music from one of the local school's choir class. The town will provide everyone with free hot chocolate.
