Winter Wonderland presented by Cincinnati Ballet

Open Daily | December 1st - December 31st

The Cincinnati Ballet, the City of Cincinnati, 3CDC, and the Art Academy of Cincinnati are working together to bring a Nutcracker-inspired Winter Wonderland installation to Washington Park this December! Winter Wonderland presented by Cincinnati Ballet is a six-scene story walk through the park complete with dazzling holiday lights on park trees, along paths, and surrounding the bandstand. Be sure to make a stop in Washington Park as you shop, dine, and celebrate the holidays in OTR!
 
The Cincinnati Ballet will host a special event in the park on December 1 to celebrate the launch of the story walk experience from 11AM – 3PM. The event will include ballet dancers and characters, family-friendly activities, music, and more. Santa Claus will also be on-site at the Sherwin-Williams Porch greeting families and taking free photos.
