Last Weekend of Lights, Markets and Shows before Christmas
Welcome back, Festival Fans.
Christmas is less than a week away (how did it get here so fast?) and so the Craft Shows and Christmas Festivals have dramatically slowed down from last week.
Fortunately, if you still need to do some shopping…
…there are still some Craft Shows and Christmas Markets…
…and a few Christmas Festivals.
There are, however, TONS of Christmas Light Shows to explore!

A MESSAGE FROM ME
Before I leave you with the map and listing for this week’s festivals:
I wanted to offer you some special Holiday Wishes (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year)…
…and a huge THANK YOU you for trusting OhioFestivals.net to find events for you and your families.
Thanks also to the festivals, vendors and fans who have contacted me with festival dates and information.
And thanks still to those who have shared the website with others.
I appreciate it.
I am not going to publish a post next week but I’ll be back for the start of 2025.
About 2025: the 2025 Guide is there on the same page as the 2024 Guide – you need only scroll past December.
Many dates haven’t yet been confirmed but I’m working on it.
