It's the most wonderful time of the year to shop local!

Come downtown between 4pm and 7pm on Thursdays in December to enjoy shopping with our retailers!

Pick up a beverage from participating restaurants, bars, and coffee shops to sip on while you peruse unique gifts for everyone on your list. Festive alcoholic and non-alcoholic options will be available! If picking up an alcoholic option to enjoy while you stroll our city sidewalks, sure to grab a wristband and to ask for your drink in a to-go cup.

After shopping and sipping, grab dinner and then enjoy the Main Street Christmas Light Extravaganza! The lights are on nightly through January 3 with shows at 6pm, 7pm, 8pm, and 9pm.

By supporting downtown's diverse mix of local, independently-owned businesses, you're supporting your fellow neighbors. For every $100 spent with a locally owned business, $68 stays in the local community.
