Cleveland is an iconic city that has been featured in a number of films. Spider-Man 3, Marvel’s The Avengers, and other incredible productions have used Cleveland as a backdrop. The most iconic, however, is doubtlessly A Christmas Story. Though set in Hohman, Indiana, Tremont and Downtown Cleveland make this cult classic feel… well, authentic. Today, the A Christmas Story House in Cleveland welcomes visitors to recreate that magic.
Arguably the greatest holiday movie of all time, A Christmas Story instantly captivated audiences when it premiered in 1983.

Purportedly, the team visited 20 cities before deciding to film in Cleveland… and we’re so grateful that they did!

From shots of Higbee’s downtown (where Ralphie spots that darn Red Ryder BB Gun) to the parade in Public Square, you’ll spot Cleveland all throughout this movie. You may also recognize, of course, the Parker’s House.
Nowadays, Ralphie’s house is restored and open to visitors as a museum… and an overnight destination!

Or, if you’re feeling a bit eccentric, you can also enjoy a stay in the Bumpus House next door!

Each home has its own eclectic flair.

But, of course, a stay in the A Christmas Story House is unbelievably magical.
