Play Holiday Bingo & Win!
One of the most popular parts of the celebration is the Holiday Bingo Game. Visit participating businesses, complete your Bingo squares, and enter to win in the Holiday Raffle. Prizes range from $25–$100+, all generously donated by local shops and community supporters. It’s a fun way to explore downtown, discover new favorites, and maybe even win a little something special!
More info on BINGO and Raffle prizes coming soon.
Festive Fashion Weekend: A New Twist!
This year, we’re adding a fun, photo-worthy event to the celebration! Festive Fashion Weekend, happening December 6–7, invites pets, people, and groups to dress up in their holiday best or ugliest sweaters.
Visit the BFDDA photo station (location TBD) between 2–4 PM on either day for a free professional-style photo. Photos will be posted to Instagram, where the public can vote for their favorites. The top three photos each day will win prizes from the Holidays in Bellows Falls raffle baskets!
It’s all about creativity, laughter, and sharing the holiday spirit with your neighbors — whether you’re a pet parent, a sweater enthusiast, or both!
