The holiday season is upon us, and Mahoning County is bursting with festive events to fill your days and nights with holiday cheer. Whether you’re a lover of vintage Christmas decor, traditional crafts, or twinkling lights, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Memories of Christmas Past Exhibit
Step back in time as the beloved Memories of Christmas Past exhibit returns for its 16th enchanting season at the Arms Family Museum, located at 648 Wick Avenue in Youngstown. Opening on Saturday, November 16, 2024, and running through New Year’s Eve, this exhibit transforms the stunning 1905 Arts & Crafts-style residence into a winter wonderland. Seven period rooms will be adorned with vintage decorations and time-honored traditions. Hours are Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 4:00pm and are extended for Twilight Thursdays in December until 7:00pm. The museum will be closed on all Mondays, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. Don’t forget to visit the gift shop, offering a delightful selection of both new and vintage holiday treasures.
Get into the holiday spirit at Lanterman’s Mill, Saturday, November 30 and Sunday, December 1 from 11am to 4pm. You’ll find fire-roasted chestnuts, artisans demonstrating their crafts, and unique, handcrafted gifts for sale. Santa himself will make an appearance, spreading holiday cheer to visitors of all ages. Enjoy delicious treats from local food trucks and help those in need by decorating the “Giving Tree” with new hats, scarves, or mittens, which will be donated to children and adults in need this winter.
For a magical evening, take a frosty stroll through Fellows Riverside Gardens during their annual Winter Nights held on Saturdays and Sundays from December 7 through December 22 from 4pm to 7pm. The gardens will sparkle with light displays and ignite the holiday spirit in every visitor. Inside the Davis Center, you can admire 75 beautifully decorated Winter Celebration trees, grab a snack or refreshment at the Garden Café by Kravitz, and shop for festive décor at the Shop in the Gardens.
