Newcomers, old favorites highlight 2026 Restaurant Week Toledo menu
Marcel’s, a newcomer on Sylvania Avenue, is getting its first taste of Restaurant Week Toledo — and owners say the event is as much about community as it is about cuisine. The restaurant, which opened at the end of 2024 at 6600 Sylvania Ave., is among nearly 50 participating locations in this year’s Restaurant Week Toledo, running Monday through March 8. The annual promotion encourages diners to explore local eateries while raising money for Leadership Toledo’s tuition-free youth programs. “We’re really excited. We have a number of new restaurants this year,” said Anna Toney, executive director of Leadership Toledo, which organizes the event. At Marcel’s, executive chef and co-owner Marcel Hesseling plans to showcase the restaurant’s comfort-forward menu with a global influence. Restaurant Week specials include traditional meatloaf, stuffed mushrooms, and carbonara. The restaurant is open for dinner Wednesdays through Saturdays. “I’m looking forward to feedback from the community — especially the folks who have not been here yet,” Mr. Hesseling said. “And not just about the food, but the restaurant itself and our staff.” Co-owner Amanda Maag said participating in Restaurant Week aligns with the restaurant’s mission to be part of Toledo’s broader small-business network. It “promotes local business

2026 Burning Snowman to be biggest yet
PORT CLINTON – The snowman is being stuffed with Christmas trees in anticipation of the biggest Burning Snowman Festival ever. This year’s snowman is named Leroy. With his giant top hat, he will be more than 38 feet tall and filled with as many as 150 dried-out Christmas trees for firewood. Burning Snowman Festival is in Port Clinton on Saturday, Feb. 28. Organizer Lenny Kromer, the lead snowman builder, said that people start arriving in town Friday, but the festival doesn’t officially start until the next day at noon. The burn is planned for 7:30 p.m. “It takes a couple of months to put this together, and about a week on the beach,” Kromer said. “We use the same frame every year. This year is going to be the tallest. We have a six-foot hat. The head’s bigger than it’s ever been before, so we’re pushing 38 feet.” Kromer expects the party atmosphere to smash all the previous records because this year is expected to be much warmer than last year, and 2025 was the biggest ever. It was only five degrees, with high winds off the lake. Temperature predictions have been as high as 40 degrees during the day

TSA grad brings Art to the Valentine
Trevor Gill-Snow’s success is no surprise to Juliette Quinlan. Long before she was Toledo School for the Arts’ Artistic Director, Quinlan was approached by a young Gill-Snow while warming up to sing at the small Maumee church they both attended. IF YOU GO What: ‘The Simon & Garfunkel Story’ When: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday Where: The Valentine Theatre, 410 Adams St., Toledo Admission : $68-$98 Website: valentinetheatre.com When the 10-year-old asked if he could join the band, Quinlan and the other singer, also an educator, exchanged looks and thought, why not give the kid a chance — or at least a learning experience? “Then, he was better than we were!” Quinlan said, laughing. “He just understood music and understood harmonies, and was able to just jump right in and give a great performance at 10 years old.” On Wednesday, the Waterville native returns to the Valentine Theatre to play Art Garfunkel in The Simon & Garfunkel Story . The tribute concert is a live retelling of the story behind the enduring singer-songwriter duo, featuring nearly 30 of their most beloved hits. From fans who saw the duo in concert back in the 1960s to teenagers falling in love with the music
