On Saturday, December 4th downtown Port Clinton will celebrate Community Christmas. Families can visit over 20 businesses that host activities like face painting, ornament making, cookie decorating and games. While the kids are busy having fun the adults are able to sample some delicious chili at several different businesses during our 5th Annual Chili Tasting Competition. Families are also able to visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Island House Hotel. Then head to 2nd Street and watch the 5th Annual Lighted Christmas parade which ends at Adams Street Park for the City’s Tree Lighting Ceremony.
