Please "SHARE" this invite with your favorite locally owned/operated businesses in the Navarre area to help make sure everyone is aware of this new Holiday Tradition!!
Our newly formed Navarre Chamber Holiday Committee met on Friday, September 19 and we’re energized to bring a beloved tradition — Community Holiday Open Houses — the kind that takes everyone back to simpler times with friends and neighbors popping into shops, sharing treats, and kicking off the season together.
We’re proposing a festive, Chamber‑promoted Holiday Open House Weekend and we’d 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 one day during Thursday–Sunday, November 13–16, 2025 (you decide on the hour(s)).
Residents and visitors will be invited to wander the Navarre area like a cheerful holiday stroll — discovering beautiful boutiques, fun shops, and cozy restaurants — as businesses transition into the full sparkle of the season.
Theme under consideration: “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.
What participating businesses do (easy + fun!):
- 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!)
Why participate?
- 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
- Add to the festive atmosphere—everything decorated, shops full of gifts, restaurants full of cheer, and holiday music in the air
