Get into the Holiday Spirit at the 2010 Ohio City Christmas Walk and Christmas Festival on December 4


Christmas will be here sooner than we realize, and the busy elves of the Ohio City Christmas Walk Committee are hard at work putting together the second Christmas Walk. This year’s event will take place the evening of Saturday, December 4, 2010, and will showcase homes on Whitman Avenue. Tickets are on sale now online or by phone (call 216.781.3222).

The walk, which was the hottest ticket item for Christmas activities in 2009, is sure to be a hit again as Ohio City showcases another slice of this unique and most historic Cleveland neighborhood that its residents love to show off.

New this year is the Ohio City Christmas Festival sponsored by Great Lakes Brewing Company, a daytime attraction immediately preceding the Christmas Walk. Based on German Weihnachtsmärkte, or Christmas Markets, the festival takes place on December 4 from 11:30 a.m until dusk on Market Avenue in Ohio City’s Market Square District. The street will be closed to traffic and, instead, will be lined with vendors in tents selling chocolates, spices, nuts, ornaments and other Christmas items. Yesteryear Horse & Carriage will provide rides around the neighborhood, Christmas trees and greens will be sold by a local tree farm, and Santa Claus himself will be making an appearance. The Ohio City Christmas Festival is a free event and sure to become a yearly event.
