Santa Claus Lane brings seasonal cheer to Findlay
Residents along Glendale Avenue in Findlay have informally renamed their block “Santa Claus Lane.” Nearly every house on the street features inflatable Santas, wreaths, and strings of Christmas lights, and a large sign reading “Santa Claus Lane” stretches across the entrance where Glendale meets South Main Street.
The display has turned the neighborhood into a local holiday attraction. Families, neighbors and passersby are driving slowly down the avenue or strolling the sidewalks to take in the decorations and festive atmosphere.
What to expect on a visit
Visitors should expect a friendly, walkable neighborhood scene rather than a commercial light show. The emphasis is on community spirit: yard inflatables, decorated porches, and coordinated lighting make the short drive or walk an enjoyable seasonal outing for children and adults.
Drivers are asked to be considerate: keep speeds low, watch for pedestrians and park without blocking driveways. If planning a visit during peak times, allow extra time for slow-moving traffic and people stopping to take photos.
Neighborhood effort and community reaction
Decorations appear to be a group effort, with many households participating to create a unified, cheerful look. The street’s sign, visible from South Main Street, helps mark the spot and draws local attention. Neighbors say the project brings people together and spreads goodwill through the holiday season.
Local coverage of the display was shared by WFIN’s local news feed, which posted photos of the lane and provided the community update.
