As an added daytime attraction to the Christmas Walk, come to the Ohio City Christmas Festival sponsored by Great Lakes Brewing Company. The Festival, which is based on German Weihnachtsmärkte or Christmas Markets takes place on Saturday, December 4, 2010 from 11:30 a.m until dusk. Market Avenue will be closed and vendors in tents will line the street selling chocolates, spices, nuts, ornaments and other Christmas items. Yesteryear Horse & Carriage will have rides, Christmas trees and greens will be sold by a local tree farm, and Santa Claus himself will be making an appearance. Bring the family to this happy and festive gathering that is sure to become a yearly event. All proceeds from the Ohio City Christmas Festival will benefit the "Memorial Fund for Grace and Lucy Rothgery."
