The historic Tehama County Courthouse in Red Bluff, California, has been adorned with festive decorations for the 2025 holiday season. Located at 633 Washington St., the 103-year-old building now features an impressive array of lights wrapped around its columns and a large illuminated star at its peak, responding to requests from local residents.
As part of a long-standing tradition, the facilities management staff has transformed the courthouse rotunda into a holiday spectacle. Facilities Manager Levi Conner noted that this decoration practice began around 1960. Over the years, themes have varied, with some years showcasing creative pop culture-inspired decorations, including references to the Grinch.
For this year’s festivities, the decorations take on a more traditional yet grand form. A towering Christmas tree occupies the center of the rotunda, surrounded by warm, sparkling lights that enhance the ambience of the shiny-tiled lobby. The visual effect creates a welcoming atmosphere for visitors during the holiday season.
The courthouse not only serves as a hub for various county offices but also as a community gathering spot during this festive time. The decorations are a testament to local spirit and engagement, reflecting the community’s desire to celebrate together in a historic setting.
With the courthouse beautifully illuminated, Red Bluff residents and visitors alike can experience the joy and warmth of the holiday season in a space that holds significant historical value.
