Heights Mistletoe Madness
Billed by organizers as just the right mix of "Eat, Drink, Shop & Be Merry," Heights Mistletoe Madness is always on the first Saturday of December. The event showcases the Heights faithfully - profiling the people, the shop owners, the artists and the businesses that make the Heights a classy, progressive, and eclectic destination not to be missed. Choose from gifts that you won’t find anywhere else – fresh, original art, jewelry, clothing, home furnishings, antiques, furniture. Stroll the streets or take a shuttle with a cup of warm Wassail. Tour the Victorian homes. Hear live music. Smell the wood smoke from the chimneys. See good art. Buy really great gifts! Try a new restaurant or revisit an old favorite. Enjoy the chill in the air. Hail a pedi-cab or hop a shuttle for a different trip to a gallery, shop, restaurant, or home. The Heights Holiday Home Tour is always the same weekend, so there’s a lot to do in the neighborhood. Enjoy the ultimate first Saturday of December in the Heights. More info, visit www.HeightsMistletoeMadness.com.

Expect some major wattage along with some choirs, hand bells, aspiring young dancers and impromptu concerts on folk's front porches. Streets are blocked off so it’s totally pedestrian friendly. We recommend bringing a wagon to tote the kids or a cooler full of holiday cheer.
