Holiday Open House -- Shop Local

Join us in scenic Downtown Elk Rapids for local holiday shopping, dining, and a fun filled day for the family.  Businesses on River St. will be opening their doors with great specials and small town hospitality on Saturday, November 28 from 10:00AM-5:00PM. 

 

As part of Small Business Saturday, support your community by shopping locally this holiday season.  This is a great time to experience their downtown charm and unique gifts.  Businesses offering great holiday deals include Haystacks, Wild Hare Rug Studio, Traverse Bay Farms, Mullaly's 128 Studio and Gallery, What a Stitch, Chef Charles, and the Town Club.

 

You and your family won't want to miss a special visit from Santa, elves, and reindeer from 1:00-3:00.  Bring a non-perishable item for the Community Cupboard while visiting Santa.  There will be face painting, the balloon lady, Rachele the cookie gal, storytelling, and other great children's activities that will be provided by the Elk Rapids Way to Grow.  "We are looking forward to a day of fun family events and shopping," says the Princess and the Pea owner Sandy Barker. Other great offerings for the family can be found at the Nature Connection, Nifty Things, and the Corner Druggist. 

 

In addition, Cellar 152 will feature wine tasting and food sampling as well as other great deals.  "We are thrilled to continue the tradition of offering wine tasting as part of this event," says owner Mark Wayne. 

 

Look for a complete list of activities and locations downtown that day.  Elk Rapids is looking forward to helping you find that unique gift for those special people on your list.
