Fireworks Display Light up Lorain
Display location:Veterans Park
City:Lorain
State:OH
Date:November 28
Details: Downtown Lorain will be transformed into a Christmas holiday wonderland starting this afternoon.
Live toy soldiers, fireworks, musical lights dancing across City Hall, horse-drawn carriages and trackless trolleys cruising Broadway are among the attractions being offered by "Light Up Lorain."
The holiday extravaganza is the brainchild of downtown businessman Joe Skodney and other members of The Downtown Lorain Christmas Decoration Council. They spent much of the year planning activities, recruiting sponsors and raising funds to turn Lorain's downtown into a unique northern Ohio holiday destination area.
From noon to 1:30 p.m., Santa will talk to children at the Lorain Palace Theatre. A craft bazaar, under the auspices of the Lorain Port Authority, takes place from 3 to 8 p.m. at Black River Landing.
At 4 p.m., a parade, with Santa as the guest of honor, traverses Broadway to Veterans Memorial Park, where a Light-Up ceremony begins at 5 p.m. All downtown Christmas lights, including the animated light display on City Hall, will go on when Mayor Anthony Krasienko flicks the switch at 5:45 p.m. Children's choirs from area schools will sing Christmas carols. At 8:30 p.m., fireworks will conclude the Veterans Park festivities.
The sights and sounds of Broadway will feature Santa's Workshop and Mrs. Claus' Kitchen and the return of a Faroh's Candy store to downtown Lorain, along with other holiday shops.
Come downtown today, and throughout the Christmas season, to take advantage of what we hope becomes a uniquely Lorain tradition for years to come.
