COLLEGE HILL, Ohio (WKRC) – The 2nd annual “Light Up College Hill” is Tuesday night.

The family-friendly event will include a live reindeer to feed and pet, a penguin from the Cincinnati Zoo, train rides for kids, caroling and concessions.

Because of the pandemic, last year’s tree lighting ceremony was virtual.
