🎄 Medina’s Candlelight Walk lit up the town… literally and emotionally. From snow globes to jugglers to Root Candle luminaries (shoutout to the Boy Scouts!), the whole square sparkled thanks to Main Street Medina and a whole bunch of volunteers who went all in on holiday magic. First-timers, longtime fans, girlfriends on a festive night out, everyone agreed Medina knows how to throw a cozy, small-town-Hallmark-movie-level celebration. And with visitors even driving an hour just to be part of the glow, it’s safe to say the charm is real. ❤️✨

✨ Buckle up, the Medina County Fairgrounds are about to glow brighter than your neighbor’s over-achieving Griswold Christmas display. The annual Drive-Thru Holiday Lights is back with thousands of twinklers, beloved returning characters (yes, Snoopy and Jack Skellington made the cut), plus brand-new roller coasters, a Ferris wheel, and a full first-responder tribute — fire truck, EMS, police car and all. Volunteers start prepping months in advance, and it shows: more than 4,000 visitors roll through each year for this low-cost, high-joy holiday tradition. Bonus: real reindeer will make appearances on select nights, because apparently Medina said, “Let’s go full North Pole this year.” 🦌🎢🎅

Whoever says you can’t get good sushi in Medina is full of carp! (sorry, that was a bad fish pun, but we’re going with it anyway!)

Shout out to Buzz reader Kim K. for shooting us an email about this spot.

We did some digging and clearly when it comes to sushi - PROJECT SUSHI in Medina nails it.

They are cranking out classic sushi dishes and the reviews say it all!

“I’ve been going for years and the owner is a wonderful man who makes fantastic food.” - Lilly K

“Nice little place to get decent sushi on the go. Sushi itself was pretty decent - honestly well worth price.” - Phillip H

“Friendliest people in town have a fabulous menu and are always creating new items!!” Michelle Y

This spot is in the plaza across the street from Buehler’s on 18 near River Styx.
