## About

The 38th annual Christmas in Historic Springboro fills downtown Springboro for three days, and its organizers call it the largest three-day holiday festival in the tri-state area. Friday opens at 6:00 pm with the opening ceremony and tree lighting in Rotary Park, and the festival runs until 10 pm. Saturday brings a 5K run/walk at 9:00 am and the Christmas parade down Main Street at noon, with the festival open 10 am to 10 pm; Sunday runs noon to 5 pm. For children there is a Children's Tent with Santa and family activities, plus an entertainment tent, horse-drawn carriage, more than 70 craft vendors and around 30 food vendors along the streets of the historic district. The City of Springboro's calendar also lists an Anna, Elsa and Olaf meet-and-greet in Rotary Park on the Saturday, 1:00–3:00 pm.
