Every year Hilliard hosts a variety of diverse events that bring our community together and enhance quality of life. From our huge Independence Day Freedom Fest celebration to the annual holiday Tree Lighting, our City-sponsored events offer something for the whole family!
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| 9/11 Rememberance Ceremony | The community is invited to join Hilliard Division of Police and Norwich Township Fire each Sept. 11 at First Responders Park as we remember the 9/11 terrorist attacks that claimed nearly 3,000 lives in New York; Washington, D.C.; and Pennsylvania. |

| Freedom Fest | Held in July, Hilliard's celebration of our Independence Day is one of the biggest days in Hilliard! We kick off the Freedom Fest festivities in Roger A.

| Police Memorial Ceremony | Each spring, the City of Hilliard holds a Peace Officers Memorial Day service at First Responders Park to honor all Ohio police officers killed in the line of duty. The event is now held May 19. It is especially poignant as it marks the anniversary of the loss of Hilliard Officer Sean Johnson, whose end of watch occurred on May 19, 2016. Officer Johnson was the first Hilliard officer killed in the line of duty since the department's creation in 1957. The public is encouraged to come pay their respects during this free event at First Responders Park. |
| Prescription Pill Drug Take Back Day | Hilliard Division of Police joins other communities every October for the Drug Enforcement Agency's National Drug Take Back Day. Residents can use a simple drive-thru service at the police department, 5171 Northwest Boulevard, to drop off their unwanted or expired medication in pill form. It’s typically held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on a Saturday. |
| Sprouts Night Out | A summer event that happens in June and July. Families can come and enjoy a fun night for the whole family. With live music and kids activities, it's an unforgettable evening! Event runs from 6 to 8 p.m. |
