Mariemont Luminaria Event

Each year in Mariemont (where we live) - there is an event called Luminaria.
Everyone in the village puts up luminarias at their homes and then there is a tree lighting, carriage rides & visits with Santa (petting zoo too) at the actual event in the Old Town Square.
We have attended this event each year since we have lived here (5 years now) and it is truly one of our favorites. Although we will be leaving Mariemont after the first of the year (yes, we bought a new house and will be moving close by though) - we have fond memories of our time in this wonderful community.
I actually helped plan this event this year - so Scott/Gavin stopped by for a while and I was able to sneak away for a little bit to share in all the festivities with them. Gavin was very excited to see Santa - but we didn't sit on his lap (that will come this next weekend).
What a wonderful way to kick-off this holiday season.
Happy Holidays -
Taking in the view of the beautiful tree all lit up... it was a cold night -
but one to remember for sure!
