NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The downtown marks its fourth and final Thursday night celebration on Dec. 22 from 5 to 8.
Hometown Holidays offers free parking, store specials, music, and other holiday fun, including free horse-drawn carriage rides and face painting.
Bring receipts showing at least $50 of purchases made at stores in North Adams and enter to win a giant gift basket filled with goodies and gift certificates from local establishments. The raffle will be held at MCLA's Gallery 51, located at 51 Main St. Berkshire Emporium & Antiques at 59 Main St also gives people a chance to win by entering customers into a gift basket raffle with every purchase.
Bring unused — and unwanted — gifts to Shima Boutique, 65 Main St., for a "regifting swap" or leave them to be donated.
Adults (only!) can help spread some cheer by participating in the first annual Santa Pub Crawl. Wear a Santa hat, elf ears, ugly sweaters, anything that makes you want to drink and be merry. Meet at Public Eat & Drink at 7 p.m. to join the fun.
Other happenings include live music at Desperados at 23 Eagle St. and the 2nd annual Holiday Showcase at Minerva Arts Center, 1288 Massachusetts Ave. Both events begin at 7 p.m.
There are a number of store specials and discounts. Shima and River Hill Pottery at the Eclipse Mill will offer discounts with the donation of nonperishable food to the local food pantry.
Greylock Federal Credit Union will open its doors from 6 to 8 with holiday refreshments for visitors and holiday gift cards at no fee.
North Adams Hometown Holidays is part of Shop North Adams, a campaign urging people to shop locally.
