Actors’ Theatre of Columbus bring Santa and Mrs. Claus to read to children at Village Lights! Four different holiday classics will be read throughout the night and a free gift will be given to the first 350 kids 12 and under.

Striezelmarkt, Christmas marketplace, acts as the central hub of Village Lights at 588 S. Third St.  You’ll enjoy free holiday samples and warm beverages, and holiday tunes.  Schmidt’s Sausage truck will be selling food if you get hungry, and Heidelberg gluwein and seasonal beer is available for purchase to keep the adults warm.
