WinterLand Kickoff
Cleveland
Clark Griswold made a tradition of huddling together to watch the Christmas lights come on for the first time. Visitors can enjoy a similar experience during the city’s second annual IlluminateCLE Holiday Show. See a 50-foot Christmas tree sparkle with lights synchronized to a soundtrack with original songs by four local musicians. Leading up to the show, enjoy trackless train rides, bites from local food trucks and live performances by Da Land Brass Band and Natalie Vivino of “Wicked.”
