Holiday Light Drive Thru’s, Lighting Festivals, Christmas Markets, Craft Shows and more this Thanksgiving Weekend!
This week, I’m posting a day early since many of you may be traveling on Wednesday, the day I normally post for the week.
If you are traveling out of Ohio this weekend, then be sure to look at this week’s post of my sister site – Festival Guides and Reviews – to see what’s going on beyond Ohio this weekend. You can find that post at – https://festivalguidesandreviews.com/festival-weekend-112623
If you are staying in Ohio, there will be plenty to do, including…
- Over 35 Holiday Light Drive-Thru/Walk-Thru’s
- City Light Up Festivals (with food and entertainment)
- Winter/Holiday Festivals
- Christmas Markets
- Holiday Craft Shows and Bazaars
Look to the map and see what’s around you, keeping in mind that a pin merely shows the city where events occur. Cities can have more than one event, so check through the list carefully.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday with your family and friends and I hope you are able to take part in some great Ohio events this weekend.
Until next week…
Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
