“Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays, ‘cause no matter how far away you roam, when you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze, for the holidays, you can’t beat home, sweet home.”

This is pretty sage advice made famous by the inimitable Perry Como, and luckily, all roads lead to Medina, Ohio, for the quintessential hometown holiday.

The Historic and South Town Districts of Medina feature over 45 locally owned and operated businesses, including specialty clothing boutiques, home goods and gifts, jewelry, hand-crafted custom furniture, Medina-themed gifts, and more; plus more than 20 local eateries and snack shops, with something for everyone’s taste. With over 1,000 free parking spaces, and located just 30 miles south of Cleveland and 25 minutes west of Akron, Medina is an ideal place to take the family and guests this holiday season to get out of the house and walk through a district that many say resembles a Hallmark movie set.

“You can’t beat the quaintness of Medina during the holidays,” says Matt Wiederhold, executive director for Main Street Medina. “Anchored by our beautiful gazebo, the 14-foot Community Christmas Tree, the Pop-up Forest and Historic Medina Inflatables, visits to Castle Noel—and so much more— you’ll find plenty of great photo opportunities to capture and create a memory for your family.”
