Support local while you sparkle!
New this year, the Shop & Dine Local program brings extra holiday cheer by spotlighting local businesses that make our community shine. Participating shops, restaurants, and businesses will appear on the Holiday Light Finder map, helping residents discover great places to shop, eat, and gather during the holiday season.
You can purchase a Shop & Dine Local card at the Festival of Trees event or online for just $15. Each card includes exclusive discounts and special offers at participating local businesses. Shop & Dine Local Cards will be available for pickup at the 2025 Festival of Trees event. By shopping and dining locally, you’re not just finding gifts – you’re giving back to the businesses that make our neighborhoods special.
