Not every post from my agency has to be about insurance. One of the best parts of working in the Valley is the community, and the next few weeks are full of local traditions worth getting out for. Here are a few favorites to kick off the holiday season, and your own town likely has a celebration or two of its own worth checking out.
Dates and times can change from year to year, so please check with each organizer for this year’s details before you head out.
Small Business Saturday – November 28
The Saturday after Thanksgiving is a great day to shop the local stores and restaurants in your own community. Small businesses are the backbone of the Valley, and every purchase helps keep them here.
Olde Fashioned Christmas at Lanterman’s Mill
Mill Creek MetroParks traditionally hosts this event at Lanterman’s Mill around Thanksgiving weekend, with holiday decorations, music and family-friendly activities at one of the most picturesque spots in the area.
Lighting of the Village in Poland
Downtown Poland’s Lighting of the Village is a long-running community tradition that usually takes place in early December, bringing neighbors together on the village green to welcome the season.
Lighting of the Green in Canfield
The Canfield Village Green gets dressed up for the holidays each year with help from local volunteers and the Canfield Rotary, and the lighting celebration is a favorite for families.
Boardman Park Holiday Lights and Fellows Riverside Gardens
Boardman Park’s holiday light display and the seasonal displays at Fellows Riverside Gardens are both easy evening outings once December arrives.
