Just in time for the holiday season, TourismOhio has launched the Holiday Lights Trail on “Ohio.org/Holidays,” featuring three Greater Akron venues: Deck The Hall at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, 37th annual Akron Children’s Hospital Holiday Tree Festival and Christmas in Peninsula.

“The Ohio Holiday Lights Trail is a fantastic way to help travelers find outstanding light displays and activities to enjoy with those who mean the most to them,” said Jim Mahon, Akron/Summit Convention & Visitors Bureau’s VP of Marketing & Brand Management. “We are thrilled that Akron/Summit County is part of TourismOhio’s Holidays In Ohio campaign by encouraging visitors to travel Ohio and share what makes our state special.”

Deck The Hall at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, 37th annual Akron Children’s Hospital Holiday Tree Festival and Christmas in Peninsula are three of 30 distinctive light displays across Ohio where visitors may enjoy millions of twinkling holiday lights. Travelers may browse the Ohio Holiday Lights Trail online or download and print a map to share or take along in the car.

Located within roughly 600 miles of 60 percent of the U.S. population, Ohio receives an average of 20 million visits in November and December, many from people visiting Ohio for the holidays.

“The holidays are a popular time to visit Ohio, and millions of dazzling lights are a big part of the attraction,” said TourismOhio Director Matt MacLaren. “The Holiday Lights Trail and Holidays in Ohio web page are both designed to help Ohioans and visitors make new memories while experiencing Ohio’s seasonal attractions.”
