Ohio Holiday Festival Weekend: December 18-21, 2025

Holiday Light Festivals and some Craft Shows and Markets.

Welcome again, competition followers and a Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish readers.

We have entered the second half of December and the Craft Shows and Markets are dwindling down.

Most of the occasions this week encompass Holiday Light Festivals, however there’s a Festivus Music Festival in College Corner in case you’re within the space (or you may drive).

Just a fast word in regards to the Festival Guide: I’ve gone by January-June dates and up to date what I might. I’ll begin taking a look at July (and after) as soon as the New Year begins.
