By day, families can stroll through the outdoor holiday craft market in Town Center Park, featuring more than 50 local artisans, woodworkers, and bakers offering handcrafted holiday gifts and seasonal baked goods. At dusk, the nighttime Christmas Parade rolls through Broadway, featuring illuminated floats, marching bands, equestrian units, and community organizations decorated in dazzling holiday lights. The parade concludes with Santa Claus arriving on a festive float to light the Grove City Christmas Tree. Children can visit Santa inside the historic Grove City Museum, roast s'mores around city fire pits, and enjoy live ice carving shows.
