downtown holiday night to remember cancelled for november 20, 2020
After discussion with local government and medical professionals, Wabash Marketplace has decided to cancel large-scale activities for Downtown Holiday Night to Remember on November 20 in an effort to reduce large gatherings. Many of Wabash’s favorite holiday traditions will transition to virtual formats.
Andrea Zwiebel, Executive Director of Wabash Marketplace says, “It is disheartening to cancel the holiday kick-off event. Downtown Holiday Night to Remember is a tradition, but we will do our best to make new memories. Downtown businesses will need your support more than ever this holiday season. Shop local and be safe.”
A new feature to make it easy to shop small in Downtown Wabash is an online calendar of store specials. The calendar is frequently updated with new deals and events. https://www.wabashmarketplace.org/holidays-2020.html
One of the favorite community events is the “Lighting of the Courthouse” when the outdoor holiday lights to the courthouse cupola turn on for the first time of the Christmas season. The event will be live broadcast by 105.9 The Bash at 6:45 pm on Friday, November 20. Instead of gathering in person on the Courthouse lawn, you can watch anywhere in the world with this online format!
Another tradition is the “Stamping Map” and the chance to win $1,000 in Downtown Bucks, a form of holiday cash. Wabash Marketplace will announce a virtual contest for winning the bucks. Downtown Bucks are also available for purchase online at www.wabashmarketplace.org and in-person at Visit Wabash County, 221 S. Miami St.
More details will be announced as the holiday season approaches. To find more about Downtown Wabash and Wabash Marketplace, please find us on Facebook and Instagram, or call 260-563-0975.
