URGENT UPDATE: Hamburg, Pennsylvania, is gearing up for an exciting holiday season with a series of family-friendly activities, shopping promotions, and community events that kick off with Small Business Saturday on November 29. This year, residents and visitors are encouraged to support local businesses, creating lasting memories while contributing to the town’s economic revitalization.
As part of the newly designated PA Main Street Matters program, Hamburg is entering a transformative chapter. This initiative promises fresh opportunities for community engagement, business growth, and downtown enhancements. “Every event and every small purchase plays a role in that momentum,” a spokesperson for the Our Town Foundation stated, emphasizing the importance of local support during this festive season.
The festivities continue the following weekend with the inaugural Christmas in the Square event on December 6, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.. Sponsored by Copperz Brewing Co., this event will be hosted at State Street Square, located at 222 State St. in Hamburg. Families can enjoy holiday music, meet Santa, and participate in various festive activities. Local churches and community organizations will also provide crafts and fun for children.
Small Business Saturday, celebrated annually on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, aims to boost local economies nationwide. Since its inception by American Express in 2010, consumers have reportedly spent an estimated $223 billion at small businesses on this day. Shoppers in Hamburg can participate in a shopping passport program for a chance to win exciting prizes at local businesses.
The holiday shopping experience in downtown Hamburg offers an array of unique options, from handcrafted gifts to delicious local treats. By choosing to shop small, you’re not only supporting the local economy but also helping to keep the town vibrant. With every purchase, shoppers contribute to keeping storefronts open and Hamburg’s downtown area lively this holiday season.
Residents are encouraged to visit the Hamburg Holiday Shopping Guide at hamburgpa.org for a curated selection of local gifts and follow Hamburg PA on social media for updates.
After enjoying Christmas in the Square, families can continue their holiday adventure by heading to the newly renovated Hamburg Strand Theatre for a free family Christmas movie screening at 1 p.m..
