Cleveland is a great place to be throughout the year, but the holiday season holds a special magic for residents and visitors alike. Whether you have lived in Cleveland all your life or just moved in, you will find plenty of great things to see and do in the run-up to the Thanksgiving Day holiday.
Here is a sampling of some of the best events in Cleveland for the month of November. Whether you are visiting with the kids or just looking for something fun to do with your spouse, you will find lots of choices this November.
Dig Some Dinosaurs
If the kids can't get enough of the prehistoric world, they can get their fill at DinoFest. This celebration of all things dinosaur takes place this November 14 at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
DinoFest is great for the kids, but it is lots of fun for the adults as well. There will be plenty of interactive exhibits and lots of things to learn. Whether you have kids or not, you can revel in the beauty of dinosaurs and explore all the other wonders the Cleveland Museum of Natural History has to offer.
Celebrate the Beauty of the Garden
November may be too cold to garden outdoors in Cleveland, but that does not mean you cannot celebrate the beauty of plant life. Just head over to the Cleveland Museum of Art for a special exhibit celebrating the beauty of the garden.
Aptly titled "Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse" this special exhibit is sure to be a favorite. Whether you are already an art enthusiast or just getting started, this is one to check out. This special exhibit runs through early 2016, so you have the entire month of November - and beyond - to catch it.
Laugh the Night Away
The holiday season can be pretty stressful for Cleveland residents, so why not laugh the night away in Playhouse Square? From November 18 through November 20, you can do just that at the Cleveland Comedy Festival.
This celebration of fun and laughter features some of the best up-and-coming comedians and performers from throughout the Cleveland area and beyond. Just head down to Playhouse Square this November for some much-needed pre-holiday laughter.
Get a Head Start on Holiday Shopping
If you want to get a jump on your holiday shopping and pick up some one-of-a-kind Christmas presents, you can do both at the Cleveland By Hand Fine Art & Craft Fair. This year's show takes place from November 13 through November 15, and it brings some of the finest arts and craftspeople from throughout the region and far beyond.
The Cleveland By Hand Fine Art & Craft Fair takes place at the I-X Center in Cleveland, and there is plenty to see and do. Feel free to bring the whole family and see some of the finest handmade items in the area.
The holiday season is a wonderful time to be in Cleveland. From great art exhibits to riotous laughter, you will find plenty of ways to keep yourself - and the entire family - entertained this November.
