While the sun sets earlier in Dublin, Ohio, the silver lining is more time to bask in the glow of the festive lights. Here’s where you can find some of the best displays in the city.
Downtown Dublin
All lit up, Downtown Dublin looks like the backdrop of a Hallmark holiday movie.

Amidst the festive atmosphere, don't miss the chance to skate on the ice rink or visit the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Holiday Butterfly, extending its magic through the year-end.
Coffman Park
What’s known as the home of the Dublin Irish Festival, transforms into a winter wonderland once the calendar flips to December. Wander through the radiant displays along Coffman Park's pathways, passing by the historic Coffman Homestead and stopping for a selfie at the Christmas tree.
