Christmas Festival on the River Dec 7 & 8, 2012...

It's that time of the year. You can see the excitement in the eyes of children as the post-Thanksgiving Christmas period begins. This time brings many celebrations in the small Villages and Hamlets that line the Ohio River and other streams and waterways. From the Harbor Holiday Festival (Nov 23-Dec 2, 2012) in the Washington DC area to the A River Village Christmas Event in New Richmond, Ohio along the mighty Ohio River, this is the time of year to celebrate Christmas along the water.  There is something so magical about the flowing river or rushing ocean waves, as the holiday season progresses. These events generally feature so many "get outside and play" activities (carriage rides), music (Saturday, Live Acoustic Music 630pm at the Green Kayak Market & Eatery) and are great events for families, couples or friends looking to enjoy a day on the river.  Stop on by the New Richmond "A River Village Christmas" Event on Dec 7 and 8, the Harbor Holiday Festival and/or your local waterside event. And, yes,  please share any such festivals on this blog.
