North Adams Chamber Announces LumiNAMA Holiday Lights Initiative
 |
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The North Adams Chamber of Commerce (NAC) announces the first citywide LumiNAMA holiday lights initiative to run from Nov. 23 to Jan. 1.
All businesses in North Adams are encouraged to create a window display and illuminate their windows with holiday lights from 4 pm to 8 pm daily, coinciding with the City's tree lighting ceremony on the evening of Nov. 23
"We believe businesses doing something as simple as hanging up some holiday lights will make shopping downtown for North Adams residents a little extra special this holiday season," said Chamber of Commerce President Glenn Maloney.
The LumiNAMA Downtown Holiday Lights route will run along Marshall, Holden, Main, and Eagle Streets, and Route 2 between Big Y and behind 85 Main Street.
Many downtown businesses have already committed to participating in the initiative including the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, Massachusetts College Of Liberal Arts, and Gallery 51. The City of North Adams will also assist in installing lights along Route 2.
Additionally, the NAC is connecting commercial real estate owners with local artists and community groups to activate unoccupied storefronts.
Businesses interested in participating in LumiNAMA are encouraged to register their display by Nov. 18 at nachamber.org/luminama.
Those who register will be considered for the following awards: Brightest Lights, Best Window Display, and Best Art Installation. Voting begins on Nov. 23 – the day the light displays are lit – and ends on Dec. 14. Winners will be announced on Dec. 16.
Community voting on the holiday light displays begins on Nov. 23 via the Chamber website and ends on Dec. 14. Winners will be announced on Dec. 16.
