Elf Off The Shelf
Advertisement
Elf Off the Shelf returns with live elves! Find them downtown for free raffle tickets, then visit Santa to enter. Bring downtown shopping receipts dated December 1–event day for extra tickets. Four winners each receive $100 in gift cards to the downtown business of their choice.
Rochester Main Street is happy to bring back Elf Off the Shelf as part of the Santa Series—and this year, we’re returning to live elves!
We expect four to twelve elves, with the exact number still to be determined. They’ll be hiding throughout downtown, moving in and out of businesses, and interacting with visitors along the way. There’s no fixed list of participating businesses—you never know where an elf might turn up!
A friendly note before you start: please respect businesses and use common sense. Elves may visit shops, public spaces, and restaurant dining rooms, but they will only be in places open and welcoming to the public. Never enter locked businesses, employee-only areas, or other restricted spaces. Ask business owners for clues if you need a little help!
How to play
Explore downtown during the event and look for live elves. Each elf will be numbered to help you keep track of who you’ve found.
Each different elf you find will give you a treat and one free raffle ticket.
Bring your tickets to Santa and his helpers at Central Square, 10 AM–1 PM, to enter the free raffle. Santa will also be available for free photos!
Three ways to earn raffle tickets
Find the live elves—each different elf gives you one ticket.
Bring receipts showing purchases of $10 or more from downtown businesses, dated December 1 through event day. Our helpers will verify your receipts and provide additional tickets. Purchases from businesses outside downtown do not qualify.
Bring Santa a new toy for donation to Hometown Holiday Helpers and receive five free raffle tickets.
The elves will only be downtown for a few hours! We encourage you to complete your shopping before event day and save your receipts, leaving yourself plenty of time to hunt for elves.
What can you win?
Four winners will each receive $100 in gift cards to the downtown business of their choice!
Where will the elves be?
That’s part of the mystery! They’ll be moving throughout downtown, popping into businesses and mingling with visitors. Explore, ask for clues, and keep your eyes open!
