The Christmas Stroll Planning Committee has worked diligently to be able to hold the Christmas Stroll again this year as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of this great community celebration.
The 2020 Christmas Stroll will be held ALL DAY, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., on Friday, Nov. 27. Extending Stroll to an all-day event will give shoppers the ability to visit businesses at their leisure and help to spread them out throughout the day and enjoy a safer shopping experience. Stroll button holders also will be able to begin searching for their matching button number that day and through Christmas Eve.
A special 25th Anniversary commemorative Stroll button has been designed by local artist Helen “Lytle” Campbell. Campbell’s original artwork also will be auctioned by SAGE Community Arts. Stroll buttons will go on sale in November and will remain $5 each with only 2,500 available.
Main Street and Grinnell Plaza will remain open all day to accommodate parking. Participating businesses will also be included in a special 25th Anniversary version of Get Caught Shopping through the 25 Days of Christmas Stroll.
