Due to COVID-19, Starlighting will look different this year. We will be continuing the tradition of lighting the Star and we have plans for a reworks display, however, we are encouraging smaller group gatherings, as we unfortunately are unable to hold our traditional downtown Castle Rock festival. Instead we will be hosting three viewing locations and live streaming the ceremony. Stay up-to-date on details at: castlerockstarlighting.com.
During the early 1970’s, the energy crisis brie y threatened the star lighting, but the tradition continued. For about 11 years, the ceremony was held at the Douglas County Courthouse. In 1978, the courthouse was destroyed in a re. The starlighting was then held for a number of years on the “courthouse square”, where a new administration building for the county was constructed.
Starlighting is presented by the

In 1999, the starlighting moved to the steps of the police station
on Perry Street in Castle Rock. After Denver Bronco Super Bowl
wins, the lightbulbs in the star were replaced so that they showed
blue and orange in celebration of the Denver Broncos victories.
After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the star was lit
for several weeks. The organizers of the Starlighting Ceremony chose a patriotic theme for their celebration, complete with ags on all the advertising for the event. In 2015, the star was again lit with orange and blue bulbs to celebrate the Denver Broncos Superbowl 50 win over the Carolina Panthers; and was lit this year in solidarity during Covid.
