About this adventure

On Friday and Saturday evenings in late November and December, Renaissance Park near Harveysburg (home of the Ohio Renaissance Festival) becomes Yuletide Village: Season of Lights, a walk-through holiday village. Visitors wander along the Rivers of Lights and through Gum Drop Alley while roving carolers sing, catch scheduled shows and a light show, visit Santa in his workshop and, for the brave, bargain with the wicked Krampus to get off the naughty list. The Yuletide Market sells handmade goods such as wooden toys and jewelry, and taverns serve hearty food, spiced cider and fireside s'mores around many fire pits; private igloos can be rented. The organizers call it family-friendly, but paths are gravel, so expect rough terrain with strollers or wheelchairs, and dress warmly because almost everything is outdoors.
