The Ohio Holiday Lights Trail Showcases the Best Light Displays in Ohio
Visiting light displays during the holiday season is a beloved tradition for so many people. It’s such an enjoyable way to spend time with family and friends while getting in the holiday spirit.
If visiting light displays is on your holiday to-do list, you might want to check out the Ohio Holiday Lights Trail, a curated list of the best light displays across the state.
Ohio. Find It Here., the state’s tourism division, created the list in 2016 to make people aware of the incredible displays they might not otherwise have known about. Last year, the lights trail included 43 light displays, its largest since its inception. This year’s list is expected to have at least that many and possibly more.
“The Ohio Holiday Lights Trail features the best of the best in Ohio,” said Matt MacLaren, director of Ohio. Find
It Here. “We want to make sure people discover amazing holiday light displays we have here in Ohio, from charming towns to our vibrant cities. No matter where you live, chances are you’re not too far from a beautiful display.”
You can download the Ohio Holiday Lights Trail map and plan your holiday travels around Ohio at Ohio.org.
