    Loveland, Ohio – Bells will be ringing this Saturday in Downtown Loveland for the city’s Annual Christmas in Loveland celebration! We have everything you need to know about this year’s festivities!

    This Saturday from 4 PM-8 PM, Downtown Loveland will transform into a beautiful Winter Wonderland for those wanting to celebrate Christmas the Loveland way! Christmas in Loveland is set to feature a plethora of holiday activities and Christmas-themed displays with nearly every Downtown business participating this year. Friends and families will be able to visit the Madcap Puppet Theater and Santa and his elves at City Hall, pin the tail on the reindeer, and decorate sugar cookies at Eads Fencing, take a peaceful carriage ride along Railroad Avenue, enjoy a train ride at Loveland Museum, feast on complimentary food tastings and sip on holiday cocktails from Downtown’s restaurants, and write Letters to Santa At Mile42, create homemade reindeer food at Trailside Provisions, or create a gnome ornament at Whistle Stop Clayworks. This fun-filled holiday event will also include a “Christmas Time” free show at the Loveland Stage Company, and live Christmas entertainment from the Victorian Christmas Carolers, The Cincinnati City Shakers, and Broadway Bound, to name a few, that will take place at the Fountain Greene and throughout Downtown Loveland. Oh, and did I mention Loveland will be bringing back its live nativity scene?!

    CeeCee Collins, President of the Little Miami Chamber of Alliance, said she couldn’t be more excited for this year’s Christmas in Loveland! 

    “There will be so many fun activities such as ornaments, singing with carolers, and meeting Elsa and Anna, just to name a few! This is such a great event where the businesses want to give back to everyone that has patronized and visited downtown,” Collins explained, “We truly appreciate everyone supporting local businesses and hope that the community will continue to come back, especially now that all the businesses are re-opened (and more have been built) after the pandemic. There will be tons of samplings and give-a-ways for all ages to enjoy!”
