October 27, 2020 Visit Madison

Every holiday season Madison, Indiana is filled with magical things to see and do. Starting with the Holiday Downtown Open House, brought to you by the Madison Main Street Program,  November 11th, merchants kick off the holiday season with downtown stores all decked out along with special deals, extended hours, and refreshments.  The Friday after Thanksgiving, November 25th, Merry Madison will be lit for the Holidays through to the New Year, join Madison’s Mayor and Santa for  ‘Light Up Madison!‘ Also starting that night is the ‘Festival of Trees and Hosts of Angels’ at Lanthier Winery, hundreds of glistening and glittering Christmas trees boast the winery – it’s a must see! The shopping continues on ‘Small Business Saturday‘ merchants will be ready for your visit, stop at the Gazebo on Main Street to grab some “shop small” swag (while supply lasts)!  Another popular holiday attraction put on by the City of Madison comes the first Saturday in December every year ‘A Very Merry Madison Christmas Parade‘ down Main Street. “The parade is “Macy’s Day”-like and filled with big personality with a small town atmosphere, its truly nostalgic and with an awesome backdrop” added Sarah Prasil, Director of Marketing at Visit Madison. After the parade you won’t want to miss the first annual ‘Very Merry Madison Christmas Celebration‘ – Santa, live Reindeer, characters, candy, ice-skating, putt-putt and more!

So let’s start thinking ahead to the holidays. Retailers know all too well that we’re ready now to shift into Christmas mode. Who’s the gift-buyer for your household? The holiday season seems to go much smoother if you start thinking about Christmas gift selections early.

What gifts will be the most treasured? How about finding something truly unique? How early do I need to ship to far-away family members? How about getting your shopping done early enough to have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday? All things to consider!

Madison’s retailers know that more of us will be “shopping small” and “buying local” this year – let’s face it – its been a tough year for all. It’s what keeps small towns sustainable. They know that many buyers are looking for a more relaxing and enjoyable experience. A gift purchased in Madison could come complete with a story about the memorable store in which it was found, or the charismatic shop owner who helped locate it.  Many Madison retailers even provide free gift wrap or gift bags that look great under the tree.

Choose to come to Merry Madison anytime during the holidays, she will be shining and twinkling from Main Street through to the Riverfront, ready for a warm welcome and great hospitality.
