Cleveland's Terminal Tower rises above Public Square ablaze with sparkling holiday displays.  The annual lighting tradition has drawn millions of people to the heart of downtown.

The Old-World charm of the Arcade serves as the setting for some of Cleveland's finest choral and instrumental music during the holidays.  Christmas shoppers delight in the unique shops and restaurants found within this century-old building.

  2. I stumbled upon your site and was pleased to see several of the thirty Christmas in Cleveland post cards which I produced in the 1990's. They were to represent many of the holiday lighting traditions of the past, but sadly, most have not been carried through to the present. Herman Rueger Nu-Vista Prints
