Our newly formed Navarre Chamber Holiday Committee recently met on Tuesday, September 30th.
We’re energized to bring a beloved tradition to the Navarre area:
Community Holiday Open House Weekend
Our hope is that this event takes everyone back to simpler times with neighbors popped into businesses, sharing treats, and helped to kick off the holiday season together.
We’ve scheduled Navarre's Holiday Open House Weekend: November 13, 14, 15 and 16, 2025.
We would love your feedback AND your participation.
What’s the idea?
Invite all locally owned and/or operated businesses in the Navarre area to host a Holiday Open House during Thursday–Sunday, November 13–16, 2025 (you decide on the day(s) and hour(s)).
Residents and visitors will be invited to wander the Navarre area - discovering beautiful boutiques, fun shops, and cozy restaurants—as businesses transition into the full sparkle of the season.
Theme: “Celebrate the Spirit of the Season in Navarre”
What the Chamber will do
- Promote the weekend across Chamber channels and media outlets.
- Create and share a map of every participating business.
- Provide sponsor opportunities to boost visibility.
- Share participating businesses’ promotions to drive turnout.
Choose one day (Thurs 11/13, Fri 11/14, Sat 11/15, or Sun 11/16) and offer at least one of the following:
- Doorbuster or special sale
- Treats or refreshments
- A unique reason to visit (demo, sample, photo op, mini‑workshop—your call!)
- Be part of Navarre’s official start to the holiday season
- Welcome new and returning customers while showcasing your holiday lineup
- Align with a community‑wide promotion that makes it easy for shoppers to visit you
