Seneca County Family Fair Lights Featured on the 2023 Ohio Holiday Lights Trail

Destination Seneca County is excited to announce its submission of the Seneca County Family Fair Lights as one of featured displays on the Ohio Holiday Lights Trail.

“There is so much to see and do in Ohio during the holidays, and the light displays across the state make the Christmas season even more magical,” said Governor DeWine. “The Ohio Holiday Lights Trail is truly unique, and the stops are great destinations to spend time with family and experience the heart of Ohio's communities."

This year’s display features more than 120 different light displays put together from local businesses, groups, organizations, and community members. Residents and guests can enjoy the bright lights, holiday cheer, and fun times all while staying warm in the car. This will be the second annual Family Fair Lights at the Seneca County Fairgrounds and all of the funds raised will go to the Seneca County Junior Fair Board to help with the building of their new barn. The experience is $5 per car and other donations are accepted.

“The holidays are about coming together to celebrate, and it’s great that we get to do that in a way with destinations from all across the state coming together for the trail to celebrate the holidays,” said Lydia Mihalik, director of the Ohio Department of Development which oversees TourismOhio. “We have destinations that have been on the trail since it started, and others are featured for the first time this year. It’s a wonderful tradition to be a part of.”

Along with the dazzling new stops featured on the trail, there are many destinations that have made themselves holiday traditions in the hearts of Ohioans. This is the first time the display has been a part of the Ohio Holiday Lights Trail. With 70 stops along the self-guided trail, this season’s Holiday Lights Trail is the largest yet.

The Seneca County Family Fair Lights is open November 17^th through December 23^rd, Fridays from 6 pm to 9pm, Saturdays from 6pm to 9pm, and Sundays from 6pm to 8pm. As long as cars are in line by the ‘closing time’, they will be able to drive through the experience.
