The first of what organizers hope will become an annual event, Coventry Village Holiday Festival provides an assortment of holiday events at the various shops that line Coventry Road in Cleveland Heights. The event, which takes place today from 11 a.m. to midnight, features screenings of Elf and other holiday shorts at the Centrum Theatre and an Ugly Holiday Sweater Bar Crawl that’ll take place at the various bars up and down Coventry. Classical Revolution Cleveland and School of Rock will perform at the Grog Shop and there’ll be all sorts of family-friendly activities, including opportunities to take photos with Coventry Claus and Mr. Jingeling. All the events are free. (Niesel)
