❄️❄️❄️Folks! The snow arrived just in time to kick off the holidays on Hertel Ave! Are you ready? We sure are!

Here are the details for both Friday and Saturday

🎄🎅🏻❄️FRIDAY: Hertel Holiday Tree Lighting
Santa and Mrs.Claus escorted by the Hertel Business Association board members, will arrive on their sleigh to the Hertel Tree Lighting.

The tree will be lit promptly at 6pm. The tree is located on the grounds of St. Margaret’s Church.
Hot cocoa donated by Dash's Market & knit caps donated by New Era Cap will be given out. Thank you both for keeping the cozy vibes in full effect!

Once the tree is lit, Santa & Mrs. Claus will stick around for photos. Once complete, Santa will stroll the avenue and visit the businesses.
Businesses WILL BE open later. Be sure to stop in and check out the variety Hertel has to offer! These are the most important times for our friends who have dedicated their lives to bringing their specialties to our neighborhood! For most, January and February are usually slower months for small shops. Let’s show them our support! They need us as much as we need them!

🎄🎅🏻❄️Saturday: Hertel Holiday Sip & Shop
In an effort to bring the adults back out to Hertel, Saturday night should be full of sips and shopping! Grab a bite and head out to check out the shops! Participating shops will be offering specials, deals and promotions — show your appreciation and remember shopping small and local is what keeps our neighborhood thriving!

Santa & the Mrs. will stroll Hertel and pop into as many shops as they are able for photo ops. Put on your best cheerful outfit, bring the fun and let’s stroll Hertel and spread some holiday cheer!

**The Hertel Business Association has teamed up with FeedMore WNY to assist in giving back to those in need this holiday season. The FeedMore WNY barrels will be by the tree during event hours of 6-9pm. If visiting Hertel at other times of the day, the barrels will be across the street at Buffalo Airbrush Tan. Please be as generous as possible. Giving back is a good feeling! 🫶🏼

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
