CLEVELAND–The holiday season is officially underway in Cleveland, with an event that brings a big crowd downtown every year.

Winterfest is back at Public Square. It was the first time in a few years the square has been the center of attention for this, but the revamp in 2016 has made for an impressive Winterfest venue.

There are lights everywhere you look on the square.

“It’s beautiful, Cleveland is definitely shining tonight,” said Anna Kime, who attended the event.

Thousands watched as Santa Claus and the Grinch made an appearance, Saturday.

“It’s a great vibe the city’s alive with our championship and a great Indians run and everyone is just having a good time with family,” said one Clevelander.

Food trucks lined Public Square at the Downtown Cleveland Alliance event.

“It’s very convenient you don’t have to travel everywhere just to find something to eat.”
