46th Annual E.J. Thomas Christmas Arts & Crafts Show

For nearly five decades, this beloved holiday show has brought together over 100 artisans and crafters—many from the local Cleveland and Akron area—to showcase handmade goods and unique gifts. It's a great way to find one-of-a-kind holiday presents while supporting independent makers. The event runs across three days with extended hours on Friday evening, so you can visit at a time that works best for your family's schedule. Admission is affordable and accessible to everyone: just $5 for adults and $4.50 for seniors, with free entry for children 12 and under. The venue offers complimentary parking on campus, making it convenient to drop in without worrying about extra costs. Whether you're shopping for holiday gifts, looking for handcrafted decorations, or simply wanting to browse and enjoy the festive atmosphere, this established tradition offers something for the whole family.
