The holidays are kicking off already! Here’s what’s going on this month with pandemic cautions.

2. Holiday Open House Market Days

Nov. 5-11
Homewood Shops

While the pandemic has shifted what the Homewood Chamber of Commerce’s traditional Holiday Open House looks like, you can still experience the fun of the holidays over a series of days shopping in Homewood. Find special festivities at retailers each day, and watch for a live performance in downtown Homewood each day at 3 p.m. To enter the Market Days Shopping Contest, send three receipts from Homewood businesses during Market Days to be entered to win a gift card; look for posters downtown with a QR code.

SAVE THE DATE

Downtown Homewood Christmas Parade + Star Lighting

Thursday, Dec. 3 | 6:30 p.m.
Downtown Homewood

You can’t get much more Homewood than the lighting of the 18th Street star, and the annual parade is the same night to boot. After the parade ends at City Hall Plaza, a special visitor in a big red suit will arrive, the Homewood High School Band will play and the Christmas tree will be lit.
