Euclid holiday celebration lights up downtown

Join your neighbors Dec. 2 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Shore Cultural Centre for a homey start to the holiday season. This first, and hopefully annual, celebration is made possible by collaboration among the city of Euclid, Shore Cultural Centre and the Euclid Chamber of Commerce. This is the perfect event for families to start a new holiday tradition, which is free and fun for all ages. Stroll the decorated storefronts and convenient eateries of downtown Euclid. The tree lighting ceremony begins at 6:30 p.m. There will be a choir concert in Shore Auditorium, visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus, carolers in Dickens period costumes, and a community tent with kid activities. Horse-drawn sleigh rides will be just $2 for adults, $1 for kids 6 to 12 and free for kids 5 and under. Lakeshore Coffee House will be open and selling refreshments, including their own special recipe mocha. Visit art exhibits, holiday decorations and open studios at the Shore Cultural Centre open house. More details are available on www.experienceeuclid.com.
