ChristmasInTheWoods

Christmas in the Woods is an annual holiday craft festival held at Shaker Woods in Columbiana, Ohio. Celebrating its 32nd year in 2026, the event welcomes visitors to a manicured, wooded setting to browse work by more than 230 juried, costumed crafters and artisans. Exhibitors decorate their booths in an old-fashioned holiday style, demonstrate their crafts, and sell handmade seasonal goods alongside traditional crafts. Offerings include candles, leatherwork, woodwork, dolls, hand-thrown pottery, iron and stone work, Christmas ornaments, decorations, holiday clothing, wreaths, and floral arrangements.

The festival also features live entertainment, including musicians and local performers, and a selection of freshly prepared foods such as donuts, cobbler, French fries, and bean soup. Visitors can use gravel footpaths across the level grounds, with free parking available. The 2026 event is scheduled for October 10–11 and 17–18, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $12 for adults, while children 12 and under enter free; admission is cash only. Service animals are permitted, but pets and comfort support animals are not.
