Holiday Magic Is Returning to Historic Bridge Street… And This Time, You Can Ride Inside the Story. Imagine this moment…
The gentle clip-clop of hooves echoing down Historic Bridge Street.
A cozy, winter-wrapped carriage, blankets tucked around you, Christmas lights shimmering off the Harbor.
The kind of nostalgia that warms you from the inside out.
On Sunday, December 14, from 12 to 4 PM, Riverbend Hotel & Suites is bringing a one-day-only holiday experience you will not want to miss… and tickets are officially available now.
Horse-Drawn Carriage Rides Through the Historic Ashtabula HarborA 20-minute scenic loop through the Bridge Street corridor, where holiday shoppers wander, lights glow in every shop window, and the Harbor looks like it leapt out of a Christmas card.
This year’s ride is made even more special thanks to Ralph Rice of Riceland Meadows, who will be bringing his magnificent and rare English draft horses to guide your carriage.
Their calm strength and gentle presence transform the entire experience into something timeless, peaceful, and unforgettable.
