The days fill with the holiday spirit from the first weekend of December, beginning with An Ashtabula County Country Christmas. Sponsored by the Ashtabula County Convention and Visitors Bureau, the weekend offers parades, open houses, theatrical productions, as well as special lodging and shopping discounts. An old-fashioned Christmas can be found at the Ashtabula Arts Center with its production of The Nutcracker performed throughout December while Conneaut hosts a Christmas Ceremony and a madrigal dinner at the Conneaut Community Center. Not only the place to find the perfect gift, Ashtabula County embodies the spirit of the holiday season. Families can follow snow-covered trails to one of the area Christmas tree farms in search of the perfect pine or spruce.
Carolers fill the crisp, early evenings with song.
Museums are donned with bows and greens. Local wineries offer holiday parties, and the scent of spices wafts through the air as restaurants prepare to set out the holiday feast. Throughout the year, visitors will find each season in Ashtabula County is a unique, memorable celebration.
