Embracing Holiday Traditions
If you’re looking for traditional holiday activities, Mahoning County has you covered! Fire-roasted chestnuts, handmade gifts, local artisans and festive entertainment create the perfect traditional holiday atmosphere at Christmas at Lanterman’s Mill. Be sure to check out the annual holiday spectacular Memories of Christmas Past at The Arms Family Museum, and local flea markets filled with unique gifts and holiday decor.
Admire Holiday Light Displays
The sun sets early this time of year, but that’s just more opportunity to enjoy beautiful holiday light displays! Mark your calendar to visit well-known community favorites like Frost & Lights: Winter Nights at Fellows Riverside Gardens, the drive-through Winter Wonderland Holiday Lights at Boardman Park and the nearby Joy of Christmas Light Show.
Enjoy Live Performances
Nothing rings in the holiday season quite like Ballet Western Reserve’s The Nutcracker and the 36th annual Miracle on Easy Street! The holidays wouldn’t be complete without seasonal live performances and concerts like Trans-Siberian Orchestra and TubaChristmas.
Fun for the Whole Family
Catch the dazzling holiday show Let It Snow at The Ward Beecher Planetarium, and then see Santa’s reindeer at White House Fruit Farm during Christmas on the Farm. The annual Youngstown Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting features Santa’s Workshop at OH WOW! Children’s Center.
