Winter on the North Coast doesn’t tiptoe in — it arrives with lake-effect snow and plenty of attitude. In Cleveland, getting cozy starts with getting cold. We bundle up, hit the trails and embrace the indoor-outdoor vibe, from frosted Metroparks paths to the quiet beauty of Cuyahoga Valley National Park and Lake Erie’s frozen shoreline.
Once you’ve earned your chill, The Land warms up fast with world-class museums, Broadway shows at Playhouse Square and the reimagined Brite Winter Festival. Classic CLE comfort food and seasonal brews seal the deal. Add in cultural celebrations like Lunar New Year and Kurentovanje, and winter becomes a reason to explore, not a roadblock.
Get cold, get cozy, repeat.
