SNOW PLOW ALERT- MONDAY NIGHT-TUESDAY

TRAFFIC ALERT -WEDNESDAY

Christmas Walk in the Village of Cleves 2025

I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family.


This is always a busy time of year, and this week will be no different as the Christmas Walk Committee meets for the final time before next Saturday’s event. While there are a few last-minute details to refine, please know our traditional celebration will take place next Saturday, beginning at 11:00 a.m.


The Cleves Christmas Walk in the Village is a unifying tradition where families can shop, eat, and play together, and neighbors gather to celebrate the season. This year’s festivities will feature multiple musicians throughout the day, including local talents Jim Gillum and Chase McCreary.


Everyone’s favorite, Elvis, a.k.a. Mike Davis, will also return to the stage.


Highlights include:


  • Carriage rides through the Village
  • Food vendors such as Sweets and Meats and Nacho Average Taco Cart
  • Craft fairs at the Miami Township Town Hall and the Miami Township Senior Center
  • Model Train Show at Dennie George Funeral Home
  • Karaoke at Maka Mia Pizza-Plus Jerry's Pizza & Beverage Special
  • Patty's Old Fashioned Popcorn



The Parade of Lights will return this year, with large crowds expected. Special guests Rosie and Gapper, the Cincinnati Reds mascots, will be available for photos with residents starting at 5:20 p.m. and continuing during the parade. To make the evening even more festive, food vendors have been asked to remain open later so families can enjoy a meal together after the parade.


A full schedule of events will be distributed later this week.

We look forward to celebrating with you and making this year’s Cleves Christmas Walk in the Village a joyful gathering for all.



Sincerely,


Chuck Birkholtz, Mayor

Cleves Service Department Projects in the Village


Dear Residents,


This week will be hectic for your service department as we prepare downtown for the Christmas Walk in the Village. With that said, please continue to let me know of issues in the Village that need our attention so we can add them to our list.


The tentative schedule for this week:



Monday: Decorate the Christmas tree in front of the Municipal Building, plug in the lights, and check for any bad bulbs. Install salt spreaders on the dump trucks and load them with salt in preparation for an overnight snow event.


Tuesday: Remove any residual snow from the Monday night/early morning snowfall.


Wednesday: Decorate the Water Works Building and the tree. -


Thursday: Clean up North and South Miami Avenue and patch several potholes throughout the Village.


Friday: Gather items needed for the Christmas Walk and post NO

PARKING signs for the parade. Set up barricades to block the streets on Saturday.
