HOLIDAY WINDOW CONTEST - Decorate your holiday windows by Nov 30

Picture
*NEW *for 2019, the holiday window contest will span the ENTIRE HOLIDAY SEASON, giving visitors more reason to walk around downtown and visit businesses and storefronts they may have never seen!
  • Visitors will walk around downtown, view windows and submit their choices for favorite window display using their personal cell phones.
  • Each decorated window will be given a numbered card with QR code and URL for voting. You'll be asked to display this small card in your window so visitors know how to vote on your window!
  • You can decorate and reveal your window at any time but we STRONGLY recommend having it ready and on display by our holiday opening weekend, Saturday, November 30th.
  • You are encouraged to leave your window displays lit overnight, or at least until MIDNIGHT each evening for the best possible showing for your business and for downtown. TIP: Consider using light timers to turn off your lights at midnight.​

SEEKING LIVE MUSIC FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

If you're seeking live music for the holidays and beyond, read below...

We are attempting to work with the MWSU music department by providing them a list of spaces, businesses, and areas of interest for music students to perform downtown. If you have a performance space available, please add it to the database below so we can share with the music department for their consideration.
