Our Story
Bringing Holiday Magic from Around the Globe to Cleveland
Our mission at USA Expositions has always been to create experiences that unite people through celebration and culture. From Cleveland’s award-winning Oktoberfest (the largest outdoor event in Northeast Ohio) to Dyngus Day in the Gordon Square Arts District, we’ve seen the joy that cultural gatherings bring to the community. When we set out to create Christmas Around the World, our vision was clear: to bring the holiday spirit from every corner of the globe to Cleveland in a way that would be unforgettable.
Our passion comes from a desire to create something Cleveland has never seen before. Imagine wandering through Greece’s tall ships or basking in Australia’s sunny beach on Christmas, all within a single visit. Every part of the event – from the live performances and diverse cuisines – is carefully crafted to transport you into authentic celebrations.
Creating Christmas Around the World took years of research, including traveling worldwide to experience the best of holiday traditions. The goal is to create an event, much like Cleveland Oktoberfest, where families can honor their own heritage, and explore and learn about the traditions of others.
Be a part of the magic!
