Grab your winter coat and your family and head out to one (or many) of the seasonal events happening all month long in the Queen City! Holiday fun is happening everywhere from up in the sky to down in the sea.
Downtown Dazzle will be an epic kickoff to your festivities. Happening every Saturday during December, this event will feature fireworks, an ice skating rink, and holiday activities — and the chance to see Santa Claus rappelling down a skyscraper!
Dive under the sea at the Newport Aquarium for Scuba Santa’s Water Wonderland. During all of December, you and your family can watch Santa scuba with sharks. And while underwater, Santa’s magic allows him to hear and talk to you, too!
Take a trip back in time for Holly Days at the Heritage Village Museum on December 14. Experience the simplicity of A Prairie Little Christmas, where you can sample treats and learn more about holidays on the frontier. After a quiet day spent on the prairie, check out the modern magic of King’s Island Winterfest. From 5pm-10pm on selected days in December, you’ll witness the magical transformation of your traditional theme park into a wonderland with more than 7 million lights and ice skating on the Royal Fountain. If you need to do holiday shopping, there’s plenty of gift ideas to inspire here while you wait for the tree lighting ceremony.
Don’t forget the holiday markets taking place in Cincy this month. Findley Market is one of Ohio’s oldest public markets, located blocks from the Ohio River. During the holidays, the market offers shopping, local artisans, and festive events. Don’t miss the Christmas tree sale and the holiday opening weekend starting on December 1.
