## About

Ohio’s oldest continuously operated public market transforms into a vibrant seasonal wonderland during the annual Findlay Market Holiday Market in Over-the-Rhine. The outdoor farm shed and market esplanade host dozens of specialty artisan craft vendors offering handmade ceramic ornaments, locally poured holiday candles, wooden toys, and gourmet treats. Families can select fresh evergreen pines at the Christmas tree lot, while children enjoy free holiday ornament crafting stations, face painting, and visits with Santa Claus. The air is filled with live holiday brass bands, strolling carolers, and the mouthwatering aromas of hot mulled apple cider and freshly roasted cinnamon nuts.

• Stroller Accessibility: Paved brick esplanade, wide outdoor pavilions, and flat indoor market house with ramp access.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Public restrooms with baby changing counters located inside the Findlay Market south house.
• Age Suitability: All ages; wonderful weekend morning outing for families with young children.
