December 4 & 5, 2025
The Meridian Arts Commission is once again putting a festive twist on their popular annual Meridian Art Drop by hosting the Meridian Ornament Drop and Seek.
All ages and artistic abilities are encouraged to make handmade holiday ornaments to hide (or "drop") in downtown Meridian December 4 & 5 for others to find. December 5 is the big Christmas parade, so you can attend the parade and join in on the fun! Ornaments can be hung from trees, propped on window sills, or placed in any number of creative locations for someone else to find and keep as a gift.
Those lucky enough to find an ornament (only one per person, please) are encouraged to post a photo of it on social media using the hashtag #meridianornamentdrop, or email the Meridian Arts Commission at [email protected] for the Arts Commission to post.
