From the NAC

Join us this Monday to brainstorm holiday promotion ideas for this season!

Introducing: LumiNAMA
Downtown Holiday Lights Walk!

Let’s go full Clark Griswold on our beloved downtown this year, so we can make it shine extra bright during this holiday season to generate lots of foot traffic for businesses throughout North Adams, but especially for downtown.

Businesses are encouraged to hang lights and/or create a window display by Nov. 23 – the night of the City's tree lighting ceremony. The displays will run through through New Year's Day.

Interested? Register your display by Nov. 18 to be considered for the following awards: Brightest Lights, Best Window Display or Best Art Installation.

Help make North Adams shine a little brighter this holiday season by hanging lights or creating a window display. Need suggestions or help from a local artist? Email hello@nachamber.org.
