Holiday Open House

You are invited to join Downtown merchants for hospitality and shopping. Meet your friends and neighbors and bask in the ambiance of the holiday season!

Held the first Friday in December, December 6, from 6 to 9 pm, the Holiday Open House begins with an appearance by Santa Claus, who flies into town to light the giant Christmas tree in Pennsylvania Park and greet children with a wave and wink!

The tree lighting ceremony begins promptly at 6 pm with live holiday music.

This is the night when the streets close, and the merchants open their doors to offer warm holiday greetings and hospitality. The Petoskey High School Steel Drum Band will be here for its annual appearance. Windows are decorated in holiday style, and the streets are alive with a seasonal glow. Come Downtown and enjoy the smiling faces and seasonal fun with your family this evening.
