Cleveland Handmade at Winterfest! Sat Nov 26th

photo by Downtown Cleveland Alliance

“Every year, Northeast Ohio welcomes in the holiday season with the sights and sounds of Winterfest, the annual holiday lighting ceremony right on Public Square!

Events for the whole family will take place throughout the day, including free horse-drawn carriage rides, the Radio Disney Stage Show, live holiday concerts at Old Stone Church, pictures with Santa, performances on the Tower City grand staircase and the Huntington Winter Wine & Ale Fest (a fundraiser for Generocity Cleveland).

Come down and enjoy as Public Square, the city’s Christmas tree and Terminal Tower all light up at once for the holiday season with a spectacular fireworks display to end the evening.”

A new part of the festivities will be the Winterfest Village which will include artists and craftspeople (many from Cleveland Handmade Markets) selling their wares in a large, heated tent on Public Square from 3-7pm. Make visiting (and shopping with small business people) a new part of your Holiday tradition!
