The 10th annual lighted parade rolls through Baltimore, Ohio at 6 p.m. on December 6, 2026, capping the village's Hometown Holidays weekend.
The village of Baltimore, in northern Fairfield County, holds its 10th annual Hometown Holiday Lighted Parade on Sunday, December 6, 2026, at 6 p.m. The route starts on Summer's Choice Drive, rolls through downtown, and finishes at Market and Basil streets.
The parade closes out Hometown Holidays, a two-day village celebration on December 5 and 6 that runs roughly 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day, with Santa coming to town, local businesses decked out for the season, and a Holiday Market from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday at Liberty Union Middle School. Local volunteers dress as the elves Holly Sparkle, Jingle Spruce, and Tinsel Snowflake to promote the event, a hint at how homegrown it is.
Baltimore is roughly 35 minutes southeast of downtown Columbus, close enough to pair the parade with the afternoon market. Updates on vendors and activities post on the Baltimore, Ohio Facebook page.
