Medina County has a long history of holiday traditions. Families from throughout the county can jump-start their holiday spirits with any of the following events:
(This is not a comprehensive list.)
- In the City of Medina, we prime our holiday sentiments with the annual Candlelight Walk. This year it took place on Nov. 17-19. The cold wet winds probably kept attendance down.
- Wadsworth also had an annual Candlelight Walk on November 17th. . Santa arrived in a horse drawn carriage.
- Then there is the annual Meadows Turkey Bowl, a fundraiser for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Held on Thanksgiving day, each year they have exceeded the previous year total funds raised. This year they raised $263,000.
- At the Medina Fairgrounds there is the Holiday Lights Drive Thru that started on November 24th and runs through December 25th. Click here for more info: HERE
- Castle Noel, which is open year round, always shines brightest for the Christmas Holidays. This year they have something special for children called Elf Labs.
