The historic Tehama County Courthouse in Red Bluff has transformed into a festive centerpiece for the 2025 holiday season. Located at 633 Washington St., the courthouse is adorned with vibrant Christmas decorations, both inside and out, following requests from local citizens.
The facilities management team has meticulously decorated the exterior of the 103-year-old building with twinkling lights wrapped around its columns and a large illuminated star crowning its peak. This year’s display is a striking blend of traditional elements that honors the courthouse’s storied past while embracing the holiday spirit.
Inside, the rotunda has been filled with an impressive Christmas tree, which stands tall and proud, reflecting the shimmering lights across the lobby’s glossy tiles. This festive decoration has become a cherished tradition, as Facilities Manager Levi Conner revealed that the practice of decorating the rotunda dates back to around 1960.
Past decorations have sometimes featured whimsical themes, such as the Grinch stealing Christmas, but the 2025 decor opts for a more classic look. The large tree, adorned with numerous ornaments and lights, enhances the grandeur of this historic space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for visitors.
As the community gathers to admire this annual display, the courthouse not only serves as a functional government building but also as a focal point for holiday cheer in Red Bluff. The decorations exemplify the town’s commitment to celebrating the season and fostering a sense of togetherness among its residents.
The Tehama County Courthouse continues to shine brightly, bringing joy to all who pass through its doors during this festive time of the year.
