Downtown Highlands will be the center of holiday activity on Saturday, November 29, during the inaugural Small Business Saturday Holiday Stroll, brought to you by the Highlands Chamber of Commerce/Visit Highlands, NC.
From 11:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., the community will gather for an afternoon of shopping, music, and seasonal activities that highlight the importance of supporting local businesses.
The day begins at Hudson Library, where children and families gather for a holiday-themed Storytime at 11:30 A.M. Soon after, Town Square awakens with the cozy aromas of hot cider and fresh popcorn, a simple pleasure that sets the tone for an afternoon brimming with small-town cheer.
Highlands knows how to fill the streets with song. The Foxfire Boys kick things off with their signature sound from noon to 2:00 P.M., while face painting at The Bascom from 1:30 to 2:30 P.M. keeps the little ones smiling. At 2:30 P.M., shoppers strolling Main Street may pause to hear the harmonies of The City Carolers, their voices weaving timeless classics through downtown.
Highlands loves a good surprise—and the Highlands Police Department adds a sweet one, handing out candy canes throughout the day.
The Holiday Stroll is not only about entertainment, it’s also about the heart of Highlands: its small businesses. From boutique shops to cozy cafes, merchants will offer special promotions and seasonal treats, giving families countless reasons to linger. It is the perfect moment to check off gift lists while knowing every purchase supports local entrepreneurs.
Our Small Business Saturday is not just about shopping, it is about celebrating community. This event highlights the charm of our town, the dedication of our small businesses, and the joy of the holiday season.
So, bundle up, bring your family, and join your neighbors for a day filled with music, treats, and timeless holiday cheer. Whether you come for the carolers, hot apple cider, or that perfect locally made gift, the Small Business Saturday Holiday Stroll offers a wonderful way to celebrate the season while supporting local businesses.
