URGENT UPDATE: Hamburg, PA, is gearing up for an exhilarating holiday season with the launch of Small Business Saturday on November 29. This event is essential for supporting local shops, dining options, and creating lasting family memories in the heart of the community.
As the holiday spirit fills the air, the bustling town invites residents and visitors alike to shop, dine, and celebrate, making every purchase a vital contribution to local businesses. With Hamburg now officially recognized as a PA Main Street Matters designated program, the community is entering a transformative phase that promises exciting revitalization and growth.
“We are thrilled about the opportunities this designation brings,” said a representative from the Our Town Foundation, emphasizing the initiative’s role in fostering community events and improving downtown facilities. This holiday season is the perfect time to engage with the local economy, as every small purchase helps sustain the unique businesses that give Hamburg its character.
In a festive spirit, families can participate in a shopping passport program that allows holiday shoppers to win prizes at participating businesses. This is more than just shopping; it’s about investing in the fabric of Hamburg’s community.
The holiday festivities continue with the inaugural Christmas in the Square on December 6 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., sponsored by Copperz Brewing Co.. Located at 222 State St., this vibrant event will feature holiday music, visits from Santa, and engaging activities for all ages. Local churches and community organizations will join in to provide crafts and fun for children, solidifying this new tradition as a cornerstone of holiday celebration.
Following the square festivities, families can enjoy a free Christmas movie at the newly renovated Hamburg Strand Theatre at 1 p.m.. The theater’s updates include new seating and flooring, adding to the experience of a family-friendly outing.
“Every event and every small purchase contributes to the revitalization of our town,” the representative added. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the Holiday Shopping Guide available at hamburgpa.org, showcasing unique gifts from local shops.
Small Business Saturday has become a national movement since its inception by American Express in 2010, with consumers spending an estimated $223 billion at small businesses on this day. The excitement in Hamburg is palpable, and the community is ready to embrace the holiday season with open arms.
