Shouldn't holiday shopping be a warm, festive way to spend time with loved ones? Order a round of hot cocoa, stop and listen to holiday favorites, browse boutique shelves, small talk with the locals, mingle with other mittened visitors—that's what Late Night Andersonville is all about.

Head over to Late Night Andersonville on December 4th, or—for all you procrastinators out there—Late-er Night Andersonville on December 18th. Businesses are open late and providing free drinks, snacks, entertainment and great deals, which all combine to make shopping locally a no-brainer this season.

Visitors will get a coupon with discounts at over 40 Andersonville shops, restaurants and bars—download or pick one up in person at participating businesses. And for the young'uns (and young at heart!) there'll be FREE pictures with Santa. This year, say no to big box stores and make a night of it with friends, family and neighbors.

And if you can't make it out for either event, we'd still love to see you—channel your inner Björn at Julmarknad, a Swedish holiday market, or celebrate the tradition of bringing light to the darkest days of the year at the St. Lucia Festival of Lights. Andersonville welcomes you!
