City-wide Holiday Open House Name

Posted by Anonymous on 9/12/2010 at 2:56 PM ET 125 Points
I am looking for a festive name for a city-wide business, holiday open house.

The city is on a tropical island located just south of Tampa Bay. [Anna Maria] Businesses will be encouraged to participate by having something festive going on at their place to help celebrate the holiday season. Ideas so far are carolers, a Bethlehem Walk, an outdoor movie with a holiday theme, cookies, wassails and holiday cheer.

Any ideas for an event name are greatly appreciated. Even event suggestions/servings too!

Thank you so much in advance for your help: It’s needed!!!

    Are these events for free use to customers and passersby?

    How about giving out of candy canes or lootbags to children. Have all your personnel dress in Santa outfits to have the holiday feel in your store. Ask one personnel to post in front of your store and give out candies to children. You may also want to invite a juggler or a balloon twister to give live shows. The balloons can be given to customers.

    Sounds fun. Name ideas:

    Holiday Hop
    Santa in the Streets
    The North Pole has moved to Anna Maria! (more like a tagline)
    Holiday Treasures (to go with the treasure hunt idea, below)
    Ring in the Holidays


    Event ideas:
    Bell ringers

    A few shops joining together to make something, like a poster or garlands or something to hang in windows

    Window-decorating contest

    Craft stops for kids (kids can sit down and make something)

    Different contests at different shops – like “how many jelly beans are in this jar?” or coloring contests or county fair-type games.

    A treasure hunt between all participating shops – a map of the block(s) with participating stores highlighted, and a route where you have to get stickers (or stamp or signature) from each shop you visit. Completed contest forms can be submitted to a drawing for a big prize.


    Hope these ideas help!

    Kind regards,
    Karen
