Merry Main Street


Event Description

Main Street DeFuniak Springs will once again host its annual holiday events coined “Merry Main Street”. Free to attend “Merry Main Street” boasts live music and theatrical performances, an outdoor market, food trucks, rides on the Choctaw Express Train, visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus, kids character appearances by The Character Clubhouse, and more family fun – all taking place along Baldwin Avenue in downtown DeFuniak Springs. Beginning Saturday, November 27, 2021, events occur every Friday and Saturday prior to Christmas.

Fittingly “Merry Main Street” festivities begin on Small Business Saturday, November 27, 2021, a national movement encouraging customers to patronize locally owned and operated independent businesses. Since its conception in 2017, Main Street DeFuniak Springs has been working to revitalize the downtown business district through preservation of its buildings and support of its locally owned and operated businesses.

For the support of its community and putting small businesses first, Main Street DeFuniak Springs has been designated a Neighborhood Champion by American Express. Small Business Saturday In-store specials begin at participating merchants including Enforcement Firearms, Fisher’s Pharmacy & Gifts, Katie Beth’s Boutique & Spa, Merle Norman Cosmetics, Nook & Cranny Consignment, The Pink House Aesthetics & Wellness Boutique, Soiree and Vault 46 as early as 10:00 a.m. Seasonal holiday hours are unique from business to business.

For the dads or children tired of toting mom’s shopping bags around, The Florida Chautauqua Theatre will host its Men’s Lounge on Small Business Saturday, November 27 from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The historic theatre will be streaming live sports on its 21’ screen and serving ice cold adult and non-alcoholic refreshments.

The weekly Mistletoe Market, taking place every Saturday from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., is an outdoor market with a variety of artisans lined up and down Baldwin Avenue between S. 7th St. and S. 8th St. Items for purchase include gift ideas, delicious treats, and unique finds catered to the holiday season.

During the Saturday, November 27 Mistletoe Market a fundraising raffle will be held by the First National Bank’s OB McClintock four-sided chime clock on the corner of Baldwin Avenue and S. 7th St. for children interested in winning a chance to turn on the Christmas tree with Santa. Santa will draw the lucky child’s name around 6:00 p.m., and the lighting of the tree will signify the official beginning of the holiday season in the City of DeFuniak Springs.

Every Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. guests can enjoy rides along Baldwin Avenue on the Choctaw Express Train and visits with Santa & Mrs. Claus on their sleigh parked at the chime clock on the corner of Baldwin Avenue and S. 7thSt. Additional holiday events include…
