Why It’s Worth Attending
• Support local businesses: Many unique shops downtown participate, offering holiday-specific deals and promotions.
• Festive atmosphere: The combination of live music, carolers, hot chocolate, Santa, and the tree lighting makes it more than just shopping — it’s a community event.
• Kickoff to the holidays: This event signals the start of the holiday season in Escanaba, bringing together downtown merchants, residents, and visitors in a cheerful environment.
• Family-friendly: With Santa, kids’ ornaments on the Christmas tree, and community gathering, it’s great for families.
Tips to Get the Most Out of It
• Arrive early (10 a.m.) to catch best store specials and avoid later crowds.
• Stay late for the tree lighting. Program starts at 6 p.m. The tree will be lit at 7 p.m.
• Wear warm clothing — it’s late November in the U.P., so expect chilly weather outside.
• Enter a drawing: some stores may enter you in drawings when you shop.
• Check participating business list ahead of time at escanabadowntown.com so you know where specials are.
• Plan a dinner or snack downtown: while you’re shopping, take a break at a café or restaurant so the evening becomes an outing.
