Christmas is getting closer as the Holiday Fests continue
As the Holiday Light Shows continue, new German Christmas Markets and Holiday Festivals are popping up all over the state.
The Christkindlmarkt in Hudson is a popular event (where the image above of St. Nick and Krampus took place), not to mention the Holiday Market at Steubenville’s Nutcracker Village. There’s also Dickens of a Christmas at Ohio Village in Columbus, the 1920’s Holidays on Main Street in Sauder Village in Archbold and the Holiday Night Market in Toledo.
And, still, there are many craft and vendor shows to check out to help with that Christmas shopping.

In case you’ve been thinking about festivals in 2023, please note that they are already listed the Festival Guide. You only need to scroll down for next year’s dates. Of course, since it’s still so early, most of these dates are tentative (if you see the asterisk next to the date). Once I confirm these dates, I’ll remove the asterisk and update any website address and copy it over to one of the City Festival Guides (ie Cleveland, Columbus) if applicable.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I hope you are able to find some great events for you and your family to enjoy.
